Battalion

Not a sight you want to see: a gaggle of spotted lanternfly nymphs. (These are chomping down on an ailanthus branch, their favorite from way back.) We're instructed to "squish" them when we see them, but on a branch they're unsquishable. Even on the ground it might take several tries, as they're nimble hoppers, and built like little tanks.
