Looking at invasive species like for the good of local ecosystems...
Too real
Invasive species struggle session let's goooooooooooo
Invasive species are a net negative if left alone because they outcompete surrounding species. This leads to reduced biodiversity because nothing can specialize quickly enough to fill gaps left by the disappearance of native species.
Alas, is required
Hate when I have a healthy plant (luckily haven't seen many bad bugs), and learn I should kill it. Happening a lot where I moved to right now. Old owners (one of which i think was a cop lol) planted a bunch of stuff, some of which is banned in other states for how bad they are.
Killed a bush and replaced it with a native this season. Was very sad but had to be done.
Is that not a cicada of some sort?
Edit: spotted lantern fly... Evil

Edit: I wouldn't say they're evil, they don't have the capacity to be evil. Unfortunately we have to kill them to protect the trees.
I killed a lantern fly is the equivalent of
Killkillkillkillkillkillkillkill
i read someone on here saying a few days ago that actually they're not as harmful as people have been led to believe? idk
that's the only reason I recognize it since I looked it up after reading that comment + mention of trees of heaven
That was me. I think rule of thumb from ppl who know what theyâre talking about is still invasive species gotta go sadly, even though that is also probably still true (not as bad as thought) :( lantern boys are both beautiful and cute though why why why
What is it
