Spotted Lanternfly Masterpost: PLEASE READ

hi weevil gang,
we've been seeing a huge uptick in posts recently with pictures of spotted lanternfly nymphs. these often end up with comments that are a) unnecessarily hateful towards an insect that has the misfortune of being invasive and heavily destructive or b) people calling each other fascist animal abusers for killing them. so, i'd like to clear a few things up (i am a trained entomologist)
1) The image above is a spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula). THESE ARE NOT WEEVILS. They are in the family Fulgoridae in the order Hemiptera.
2) Spotted lanternflies are native to areas of China and other regions of eastern Asia. They are invasive in North America and interfere with our native ecosystems and agricultural industries by damaging plants and spreading sooty molds. they have recently been reported on the west coast, so if you are located in Oregon, California, Washington, etc. and find one, please report it to your local county extension office.
3) In settings such as gardens and homes, squishing or freezing will kill them and is recommended. Freezing and quickly crushing are both considered humane ways to euthanize an insect.
Here are links to various cooperative extension websites from U.S. universities if you would like to learn more:
https://extension.psu.edu/spotted-lanternfly-management-resources
https://extension.umd.edu/resource/spotted-lanternfly-home-gardens/
in the future, I will be locking posts with spotted lanternflies when i see them and redirecting to this post in a comment. stay booted! stay snooted!

Dude was stuck on his back in front of a building, I put him near some rocks and a tree so he didn’t get squished

got this huge assignments in college last year and wanted to share it with some fellow weevilists lol. the theme was animal stylization study, so I chose an animal most pleasant to draw: weevil. took me some months to finish. here we have the lightbulb weevil, the clay weevil, poorly sewn plush weevil.. and much more.
let me know if you want to see any of them in particular in higher quality!

WEEVIL TIME Mysterious goop
This beautiful little dude left some mysterious goop on my finger.
the real question is. Did I get jizzed on because I know this is NOT poop
another weevil was mating with this one earlier which is why I assume it could be evil weevil goo

WEEVIL TIME I was blessed by the weevil gods with seeing my first weevil
At first I thought he was dead because my dog gave him a little shock but he turned out to be fine and freed him! I searched it up, he is indeed a cocklebur weevil and is very pretty lol. Boots n’ snoots!
