Doesn't detract from the fact that they are beautiful. These are just as valid in their existence as monarchs. It's easier, though, to kill things that you label as bad. I do it too. But human activity has made the monarch more pitiable and the lanternfly more hated. These insects are just trying to exist. It is our activity that has caused the problems. Sometimes we must remind ourselves of that, even though we must kill the invasives.

They really are a beautiful insect. Too bad me seeing them around is scary.

Totally fair, but still does contribute to OE and some other struggles that those poor beautiful insects really could do without.

I applaud your orientation towards native planting.

Straight from University of Florida, I trust this guide and know that incarnata and tuberosa are highly adaptable. Would be fun to include some of those other less common species too.

I found that rather interesting. To essentialize to near meaninglessness; "Your wokeness is useless if it is disengenuous or performative. Be fair and human, totally, rather than be acting out a pre-approved orientation for action."
