The Unofficial "Official" Spotted Lanternfly Thread

And even I don't find any lanternflies, I'm still (A) getting out of the house, and (B) getting some exercise!

 

This tree been a dead a long time!

 

Be vewy, vewy quiet...

I'm hunting lanternflies!

 

This is where I am right now; No recent squishes...

 

Though I'm beginning to think that there weren't that many here to begin with...

 

This reminds me of the factionalized variant of the Cordyceps infection from The Last of Us...

 

One on what appears to be a residential property in Doylestown, almost a year ago...

 

It's a beautiful day and the temperature is just perfect; Gonna have to come here more often, and bring the Portmeister with me next time!

 

He'll probably end up going for a swim...

 

Figured this fork in the trail was as good a spot as any to turn around because (A) phone reception was getting spotty, (B) my phone had barely over 30% battery life left when I took this picture, and (C) I didn't want to get lost because I've never been back here before...

 

The last time I did any serious hiking was at the age of 12 when I spent a week at camp in May 2001; I did pretty good when we got to the part of the hike where I went solo, but again, May 2001...

Literally over 20 years ago! I feel old!

 

Due to the spotty cell reception, I was posted pictures from several minutes prior as I walked back to my truck...

 

Going back to the whole getting lost in the woods scenario, I believe that getting lost on a relatively small nature trail in Doylestown Borough is highly unlikely for the typical person (i.e. An 32-year old guy with high-functioning autism trying to kill an invasive species), but this should tell you how extensive this relatively small trail is...

I came out at a completely different location than where I came in!
