Spotted Lantern Fly Nymph

 Found this Lycorma delicatula  late stage nymph on a Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum) on our front porch this morning.  Disposed of the insect with soapy water -- too bad such a beautiful creature is so destructive.


There  is an excellent brief overview of the insect's life cycle on the Mt Cuba Center website:  https://mtcubacenter.org/the-life-cycle-of-the-spotted-lanternfly/
