This is good stuff. Zap Lanternflies if you can. They are bad news.

We live next to the oldest county park in America, Branch Brook Park in Essex County, NJ, so it has plenty of bushes for Fireflies. They are great fun.

The best way to get rid of mosquitoes is to set up a bat belfry in your property. Bats are your friends.

I told my wife to set one up, and that I want to put the sticker from the Batman movies on it.

She agreed about the belfry, but won't put up with the sticker. She had the same take when I wanted to put a "Carpenters Union Local" sticker next to the artificial beehive on our garage.

The bees living in the garage are Carpenter Bees. I told the Carpenters Union Local President that I could not have "scab bees" in my home, adding, "They can't pay their dues in money, but they can pay them in honey." He agreed.

This is so well done! Factual. With actionable advice. I just shared it on my Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/diane.porter.102), because this knowledge needs to be universal.

Another thing I had not realised. We really need to change how we live. That said, I do remember some fireflies in my garden.
