    Pro tip for killing the lanternflies: they are super quick and jumpy, but it takes a bit for them to build up a second jump, so once they land on their first, it’s easy to squash them.

      I managed to grab two by smushing them between a sheet of paper! The others all jumped. But we aren’t quite so bad here, I only saw the four of them.
