This post made me go and look to see if they bote:
No, spotted lanternflies do not bite or sting humans, according to Mosquito Joe. They are plant feeders that use a straw-like mouthpart to suck sap from trees and plants, but this mouthpart is not capable of piercing human skin, says a Penn State University article. While they are not dangerous to humans, they can be a nuisance due to their tendency to excrete a sticky substance called honeydew, which can attract other insects and promote the growth of black sooty mold, according to the Chester County, PA website.

@samueltyler2 Nah, they don't bite. But bees do!

@Tumbleweed technically, bees sting, but it is unusual unless you invade their territory.

@samueltyler2 I'm being silly. I know they don't bite and he was invading MY territory. I was on my porch shaking out a rug. He flew up my dress and I didn't know it til I sat down & he stung me.
