Spotted Lanternfly
_____________________________________
They creep and crawl
Curious and confused
In a foreign land
Exploring new plants
Suitable for food
Seemingly adapted to find all leaves
Sufficient as meals and for young to roam
*
They creep and crawl
Roots pushing through hardened soils
This plant these bugs know
It’s familiar scent
Repels us humans
But this new insect to the US finds
This foreign tree a postcard from home.
