This species is univoltine, meaning that a generation lasts for one year. Their abdomens are yellow with black bands. When startled or preparing to take flight they reveal their hindwings which are a striking scarlet with black and white patches. At this stage they are about 2.5 centimetres long and have light grey-brown forewings covered in dark spots. They experience a significant change in appearance when they transform into winged adults. In the fourth they become red and black with white spots and are about 1.5 centimetres long. In the first three instars after hatching, the tiny nymphs are black with white spots. They've also been found in adjacent countries in Asia, including South Korea and Japan, but researchers think that it is highly likely that the insects have spread into these areas from China.ĭuring their life cycle, spotted lanternflies go through four wingless stages of growth (known as instars) before becoming adults. Spotted lanternflies are native to China. As their name suggests, they live and feed on plants and they are strong jumpers. Planthoppers are what entomologists also call 'true bugs' (meaning they are part of the order Hemiptera) and there are about 12,500 species of them found around the world. With their wings outspread, the spotted lanternfly could be mistaken for a colourful butterfly or moth, but they are actually a species of planthopper. If their spread into new areas isn't controlled, these insects can cause significant damage to both native and economically important plants. *CBBB if you do exist.An invasion of spotted lanternflies ( Lycorma delicatula) may not sound as intimidating as that of the honeybee-munching ' murder hornets' that filled social media feeds in 2020, but their ability to swiftly disperse across new ranges is as concerning. This post isnt aimed at subtracting your value on this topic or in our community. Proper skeptics that are honest with no agenda aside from wanting the truth and are reasonable, you have my thanks, we need honest counter sides to help clear muddy waters. To answer all of them as chinese lanterns, bugs, bats, and ems like it's an SOP for a group that has an aim to impose doubt and prevent new and old in our community to latch on to the strange things in our skies( that seem to be increasing in frequency).Īm I alone in this train of thought? Or does anybody have proof of this cabal releasing these things( And if that CBBB cabal sounds ridiculous.imagine being us having to hear that poor excuse cover up over and over again!) Yet why is it all videos or pictures seem to be heralded as the BIG 4 from the hardcore debunker crowd? Statistically speaking, to have a 100% explanation to all of the videos and pictures would be a statistical improbability.some would have to be left in the unknown bracket(Even if not about UAPs). Ooooorrrr.there is some super funded secret cabal that coordinates around the world releasing chinese lanterns, bugs, bats, and balloons.ĭoes this mean I believe every video or pictures taken are UAPs? No of course not, statistically there needs to be prosaic answers to some. I can come to the only true counter conclusion from what I know, UAPs exist.
