Spotted Lantern Fly

This one's for Thom. Lycorma delicatula, a plant hopper which has spread invasively from China to Japan, South Korea and the United States. They are a pain!

I have never seen one of these before. Are they like locusts?

@grammyn They can be destructive. They're not as bad this year, but some seasons are much worse. They are everywhere.
