So the spotted lanternfly is getting all the press as the destructive pest du jour, but I've still been busy battling stink bugs. They're getting a tad apathetic as the temperature drops, which makes them easier to suck up with my handy Bugzooka vacuum device. And, thankfully, their numbers are much reduced from their peak seven or eight years ago.
A West Marlborough neighbor reports seeing spotted lanternflies so thickly clustered on one of her trees that she couldn't even see the trunk. I've seen only a few here, including one in my living room. Fat cat Tina immediately swatted it with her front paw and then crushed it on the floor. Extra tuna treats for Tina!
