I absolutely love this. I happily smash these little bastards on sight.
These guys are late this year… Seen like 5 adults up to today and then suddenly I saw 50±
I’ve seen like 3 in my area this year. A few years ago they were EVERYWHERE. Hopefully whatever measures are being taken are working.
This is such a stupid use of a template I haven’t seen for ages. I love it so much. Thank you.
I have a friend who does forestry for an electric company. He just ran into his first lantern flys in central Ohio yesterday. Fun times ahead
Tell him to swing his foot down at an angle from the front of the bastard. They jump very quickly, but nearly always forward. If you do it right, they’ll jump right into your foot and get smashed. Also if you miss, they take about a second to re-situate their wings before they’re ready to jump again. If you’re fast you can smash em then.
