A Bad Monday Morning Mystery (091321)
After I saw a Spotted Lanternfly at High Mountain last week, I started giving unusual insects a second look.
Saw this guy near the house. I think I know what it is, and I wish I'd killed it (or tried to).
I post this in part as a warning to be on the lookout for strange bugs.
What is it, and why is it bad?
