I’ve taken pictures of the spotted lanternfly through all of its stages: nymph – small and black with white spots; nymph – larger and red with white spots; and adult. I knew that in the adult stage they had red wings below the top set of wings, but I was never able to find one with the top wings spread – until now. They’re really quite attractive creatures, if you like insects (as I do). It’s a pity they do so much damage!
