100% this!!  Usually, it’s the thunder that stirs me from my sleep.  Never been woken up by lightning alone until last night!!

Yup. Ring doorbell cam got the light show.

Saw a spotted lanternfly for the first time today, I know theyve been seen in NJ for a couple years now but this is the first time I’ve seen them out by me.

Saw a few for the first time here in Brooklyn last week.

Slight risk should be bumped north. Things look particularly active tomorrow evening/night

Man we have a ton here.  I was trimming a tree today and there were several on 1 branch alone.

[BxEngine]

Have seen hundreds over the last few months.

This summer is a little more active than last summer thunderstorm wise. Perhaps, just perhaps, that means winter will be more active as well. I mean it can't get less active than last winter.

Saw one at a parking lot near Yankee Stadium a few weeks ago then this past Saturday morning, again (oddly), in a parking lot at a nearby Mall in Whitestone. Never seen one before this year.

It's the timing. Most of the activity around here should come between 08-10z. The 06z 3K NAM soundings do look mildly interesting over the interior.

Yes but they did adjust north with the slight risk as well compared to yesterday

High confidence in thunderstorms, low confidence in the severe threat. They can make further adjustments if needed based on latest guidance/observations.

First one

 

Lol - They have been out here for three years.  They eat what they’re going to eat and move on.  At this point we have a lot of well fed birds that eat them.

They are in Great Neck.  Office building was crawling with them Friday when I went to get a file from storage unit.  Haven’t seen any in Syosset or Muttontown yet but I’m sure they are around.

Yeah they aren’t the plague they were originally billed to be. We actually had more last summer on the uws than this summer. 
Finally a droughtless summer on the island I’m more interested in that.

First?! I see them daily. I gave up with trying to kill them, I just accepted them as a permanent part of the landscape now. I've learned to recognize what stage of development they are based on appearance. Last summer was more though. I am mad they destroyed a cucumber plant I had growing.

Originally, "they" said there were no known predators.  Now I am hearing that birds, as well as preying mantis feed on them/

Same here. I saw thousands of them last year but none this year. Strange how they just disappeared from our area. I don't know if the extremely dry weather we had in May had something to do with that.
