Is any one finding Lantern Fly Nymphs on their cannabis plants? They are black with white spots.
Have been finding quite a few on my plants, they get dispatched. Normally they are found on my grape vines.
The nymphs are more active than the adults but they both loose to Dawn.....

I found one so far.
 
Found two more. I used to go get gloves on or a cup of soapy water. Now in my older years I have so much hatred in my heart for garden pests I crush them in my bare fingers and feel sated.
 
I just killed a horde. Had to be ten on each cannabis plant. At least 30 on my grape vines.
My DeWalt hand held vacuum cleaner just sucks them in, use it on my squash bugs.
Captured a bunch of squash bugs dropped them in quail cage, my primary reason for raising quail is they eat bugs and they like squash bugs.
Not this flock they pecked at them but they ate none. There were some earwigs hiding under a pull out egg drawer they fell in general population none made it out of cage.
 
I have been flat on my back for two weeks. The lantern fly nymphs are everywhere. The only good thing I noticed was the catbird was feasting away.
I have labor coming today to vacuum the plants.
More than I have ever seen. Panama Red was loaded with them didn't see any damage.

spinosad must work on the cats?

They hop/fly as soon as you try to spray them or get near makes it difficult, but spinosad works well.
The hard shell makes it harder for contact killers to work.
PA has had good success spraying their urban parks with b.bassiana for IPM, preferably with azirdiractin or pyrethrins for higher populations.

Right but do they lays eggs on cannabis?
 
Any surface for eggs.
I just saw hundreds of them ten different locations more than ten in a group.

My Grape vines are loaded with them it will be an attack with Dawn tomorrow and the vacuum cleaner.....
 
I am in shock, there were so many nymphs second stage on my cannabis plants.
Never seen that many, 20 to thirty on each plant.
My vacuum cleaner was busy...
