She’s our Seal Point diva and princess of her kingdom. The boys love and fear her at the same time because she obviously rules the roost that we all call home. One minute she will be kissing Gabriel’s head and the next swatting him for no apparent reason other than “Mom, he looked at me!” She loves to snuggle on the couch to watch TV, dines on the kitchen counter so the boys don’t steal her food, and loves ear scratches. Her favorite spots to nap are on the windowsill during the day and the bottom of the bed at night. She is overflowing with “cattitude” and we adore her!
My first encounter with the Spotted Lanternfly was this past weekend at the sunflower field. They are an invasive insect that was first found in Pennsylvania in 2014. They are native to China, India, Vietnam, and have been introduced in South Korea and Japan. They jump more than they fly and are actually very pretty. They pose a threat to our grape, fruit tree and logging industries. Not a fan of most bugs (except maybe Butterflies, Ladybugs and Moths), I was a little freaked out when they flew at me!
