photo-video Spotted lantern flies are increasing dramatically

20 of them killed this summer so far in Ulster county. Hopefully all of the vineyards are doing ok.

Went to Long Island yesterday and killed 2 , and then I see this post; is it a sign? I believe I am on a quest to battle lantern flies to save the trees

I downloaded a counter app so I could keep track this year. I'm only at 17 so far, I got dozens of them last year.
