My eyes landed on the can of wasp spray in the shed. Time to escalate! I gave the can a good shake, aimed carefully (or so I thought), and let fly. The lanternfly definitely got a dose. I saw the spray connect, coating its little spotted wings. Success! Or so I thought. In a final act of defiance (or perhaps ju...
