The spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is a planthopper indigenous to parts of China and Vietnam. It has spread invasively to Japan, South Korea, and the United States. Its preferred host is tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima), but it infests economically significant plants including soybean, grapes, stone fruits, and Malus spp.
The species was accidentally introduced into South Korea in 2006 and Japan in 2009, and has since been considered a pest. In September 2014, L. delicatula was first recorded in the United States, and as of 2022, it is an invasive species in much of Northeastern United States and is rapidly spreading south and west.[4] L. delicatula's egg masses have been found to be the primary vector of spread, with Ailanthus altissima populations seen as a risk factor for further infestation globally. Ongoing pest control efforts have sought to limit population growth, due to the threat L. delicatula poses to global agricultural industries.
Note: I have seen many immature lantern-fly in my garden, you're supposed to smash them when noticing. Not much success as they flew away as soon as you approached them, unless they were on the ground, then, you might be able to smash them at once.
On a street near our apartment in Pest. And thanks to Endre Savari (on Flickr), I now know what it is:
The two-figure sculptural composition is meant to depict the theatre/the play, and is actually an inverted image of Hamlet, with the death-head figure holding the artist’s head in his hand. The head depicts Géza Hofi, who was a Hungarian actor, singer and the greatest humourist in Hungary. He died in 2002 and this public statue was created in his honour.
This Robin was catching insects on my rose bush, as it is feeding it's young in next door's garden. Taken this morning through the window.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
European Starlings are an invasive, considered to be a pest in some parts of the US. Even so, I think that they are quite beautiful.

There’s a frog hanging out in my cucumber wall, hopefully ridding it of pests. I asked it to please leave the bee’s be.

Obviously a shield bug, I think it's a Carpocoris purpureipennis. There seem to be more of them this year than usual. I don't think that I just didn't noticed them in previous years because with their vibrant colours they are hard to overlook, especially if you crawl over meadows in search of possible photo subjects. The pretty fellow is considered as an agricultural pest because he can damage soybean, beans, cabbage, carrots, raspberries, strawberries, potatoes, radish, wheat and apple trees. This information would have dampened my enthusiasm if I had found him and his numerous relatives in my garden but he lives on a meadow outside town and therefore isn't my problem.
The Hungarian Parliament is one of the great sights on the Pest bank of the Danube in Budapest. Photo taken from the courtyard. It is one of the largest parliament buildings in the world and took 17 years to complete. With its neo-Gothic style, the influence of London’s Houses of Parliament can be clearly seen. It was completed in 1904.
This is really a tiny insect, the Pea Weevil which is a pest to pea and bean plants. I am not sure if it is of the Lady Mantle plant which it is on! I think it is on the leaf, as you can see, to access the plenty of water drops to drink from!
Most of the older farm houses had gourd birdhouses hung around them to attract Purple Martins which are supposed to help with mosquito control.
This image started out and went in a new direction for me! I have always admired these drawing-like looks, but didn't know how to accomplish them. This one came on my computer with complete serendipity. I wasn't even trying to accomplish this - I just wanted to make a very bland photo interesting and usable. I would welcome any instruction from those who know how to achieve this look in a more orderly & predictable fashion than I went through.

...The youngling flapped angrily in protest as the hunter emerged from the cave, hoping its futile attempts at escape would work.
A guard yells over hopefully "Is that all of them?"....
The hunter pauses, smirks and replies "No. If you want the entire nest removed that will be extra gold."

This fly landed on the rail of our cruise ship while I was watching the sunset at sea. For this photo, it put its pest foot forward :)

UItzicht vanaf Vissersbastion (Halászbástya) over de Donau op Pest gedeelte van Boedapest
Pest is een van de drie steden waaruit de Hongaarse hoofdstad Boedapest ontstond. Het is het grootste, grotendeels vlakke gedeelte van de hoofdstad dat op de linkeroever (oostoever) van de Donau ligt.
Pest beslaat met zijn 352 km² ongeveer twee derde van het grondgebied van de hoofdstad. De Donau scheidt het stadsdeel van Boeda en Óbuda, de andere twee delen van Boedapest, waarmee het in 1873 werd verenigd. Informeel wordt de naam Pest vaak ook gebruikt om heel Boedapest aan te duiden.
In Pest bevinden zich onder meer het zakelijke hart van de stad, het Parlementsgebouw met de verschillende ministeries en het Stadspark met het Heldenplein (Hősök tere). Ook de meeste industrie bevindt zich in Pest.

View from Fisherman's Bastion (Halászbástya) across the Danube on Pest part of Budapest
Pest is one of the three cities that created the Hungarian capital Budapest. It is the largest, largely flat, part of the capital that lies on the left bank (east bank) of the Danube.
With its 352 km², Pest covers approximately two thirds of the capital's territory. The Danube divides the district from Buda and Óbuda, the other two parts of Budapest, with which it was united in 1873. Informally, the name Pest is often used to indicate the whole of Budapest.
Pest is home to the business heart of the city, the Parliament building with the various ministries and the City Park with the Heroes' Square (Hősök tere). Most industry is also located in Pest.
Four-Lined Plant Bugs are considered to be pests, since they occasionally do damage to herbaceous plants, mints, and rarely to wood. The nymphs cause the majority of plant damage.

Gioia è la nostra piccola peste, ha avuto un'infanzia difficile e ora combatte contro il mondo intero. Ma noi le vogliamo bene lo stesso, anzi forse di più!
