lanternfly
Vineyard's winged threat
A lanternfly is a planthopper insect, typically brightly colored with wing patterns that flash when disturbed.
The spotted lanternfly, native to Asia, has become an invasive agricultural pest in the eastern United States, feeding on grapevines, fruit trees, and hardwoods: If you see a lanternfly, kill it and report the sighting.
