A great deal of progress on the canopy entrance on Park Ave and the overall mullion buildup. Didn’t get many photos because I was being attacked by SLFs all over the place… it was like a warzone today.

Reminder of it

Is is just me or are they more angry in the NYC area? Philly they are everywhere but don’t care, yet when I was in Staten Island I felt like many were just launching at me

Guess they picked up the New Yorker attitude. I was walking along yesterday and a single lantern fly launched at me from nowhere to square up. It did not end well for him.

I recall the actual name of that insect as being the Asian Longhorn Beetle: when/why the name change I am not sure.

I think they have peaked in our area. This year does seem that bad. I live at ground zero for the SLF. Lancaster County PA.
