- Spotted lanternflies have invaded 11 states and the U.S. Department of Agriculture is asking citizens to squish them on sight. Entomologist Sammy Ramsey, known as "Dr. Buggs," joins "CBS Mornings" to share how to spot and kill these invaders and help scientists track them.

During parts of this interview with Sammy Ramsey, it definitely seems as though they don't understand how devastating this Latern Fly can actually be to the ecosystem and our produce farmers.
It reminds me of the movie Don't Look Up when the news anchors aren't taking them seriously about the impending doom. Now, these bugs are no asteroid, but, they can cause tons of damage. Those trees and plants we love in parks and in our yards can be killed. The price of a lot of produce can go up from the bugs destroying most of the crops and leaving little to sell.
Seriously. They are just eating and eating in PA. People act like the U.S. has an unlimited food supply; its not Africa
Africa has not even remotely an unlimited food supply? MIllions are starving?@@pinkrebel8412
Good analogy. Gail's talking about their "families" is silly.
We love Dr. Buggs!! Make him a regular!
This guy is so awesome as presenter, great presence. Haven't seen them yet in IL. Want to know if they are poisonous to dogs.. one of my rescues things bugs are treats...
No
OMG! My home is under attack. Here in PA, it just seems that the more I smash, the more comes. My family and I have been “choosing violence” for 2 years now. Spray has not helped, they are so annoying. It’s stopping me from sitting on my front porch some days and sometimes we just choose to enter through garage. I’m am over them, smh!
I know.. this is the first spring / summer I've physically been able to get out in the yard. Let me tell you, I'm flabbergasted! The Nymphs we're everywhere because I have such overgrowth. I'm getting the landscapers to come cut and dig up the rest of my seasonal plants and any trees, that I can afford. Gotta do my part or they'll just be back next spring. 🤷♀️
Go on a crusade. Round up your family and neighbors, grab some flyswatters and go to town!
I live in PA as well and have seen these insects all over my property. It is impossible to smash them in mass. There has to be another way to get rid of them without harming people, pets, and vegetation.
@@tracylee4451 The very first thing that I can see for PA. D. E. R. doing is cutting down all of the tree of heaven. If ya know that tree, just look at how many there are just in Pa., (even on vacant land/property). Then, look at how infested they are with the SLF. 😳 IT'S CRAZY CREEPY!
They can't figure it out yet though.
Correction: PA. D. N. R.
No we weren't told to scoop up bugs + place them elsewhere
The guest is hilarious
What an amazing, awesome young scientist. Luv his charisma. It's the "bug" on top 😆
I went ahead and gave up and sprayed my entire exterior of the house with the ortho BugClear. I had hundreds of them on the outside of my house in VA
Did it work?
@@nursemcfarlane6655 He didn't respond, the bugs ate him.
@lolrip818 👀😂😂😂😂 2 months later and still no reply lol. I hate these damm bugs. I have no problem stepping on them...I'm starting to think they are worse than stink bugs
I just saw one in my yard, thought it was a butterfly or type of moth at first. When I went outside it had its wings open, it didn't fly away it jumped towards my fence then I couldn't find it anymore. Glad I googled and kind regards from brooklyn, n.y. thanks for this video.
Dr. Buggs is hilarious!
The life expectancy is only one year, and since we didn't really notice them too much last year they wildly spread laying their eggs last year and now I'm finding all of the dead bug bodies littered all over the ground in New Jersey and Manhattan.
Dr Buggs is the only redeeming quality of this interview. He’s genius and funny and they are just clowns.
The 2nd top import from China next to covid. Where are the environmentalists? Imports from China accounts for the most invasive species and viruses. I live in a shipping state. We have lost so many species of trees to bugs imported from other countries.
if you do some research you'll find out that the ones here in U.S. came from Korea... just saying
When you shoot them with spray they jump toward YOU! Crazy.
(Spray used: dish soap plus neem oil high % vinegar, essential oils)
Home Depot has a small liquid trigger gun device to shoot them)
Love this entomologist!!
Be real... they have families. So do cockroaches 🤮
They call this guy anytime they run a bug story because he checks boxes:
Gay ✅
Black ✅
The hosts seemed deliberately silly and dismissive about this problem. It was distracting.
I cannot sit on my deck outside without having them ALL AROUND me, landing on me and everything else. It's annoying to say the least. I sit with a flyswatter next to my laptop and smash them. I have no problem doing it.
So who’s bringing them here
This guy is articulate, charismatic, knowledgeable..AND the Jordans.
smash them indeed
This dude is ridiculously charismatic
What's bugging America and virtually every other country around the world is The Sovereign military Order of Malta.. the greatest pests in history
what if we bring another species to destroy it??
The guy on the right hand side of the couch is a dunce.
That's his qualification.
Mr bug did not talk science. Also the bug does not suck juice out of fruit. It’s the sap free m trees.
They eventually would get you to participate in genocide. I’m not killing anything.
My daughter is terrified of them I hatttttte them butterflies from helll!!!!!
Of course it came from Asia smh
Let them live. Let them eat. We have to get in balance with nature.
They are an invasive species. They don’t belong here. If we could send them home, we wouldn’t have to eliminate them. Without natural predators here, there is nothing to check their population size. They will take resources from other native insects, and they will destroy native plants. This will only exacerbate the damage from climate change. So many trees have already died in fires and droughts.
Do the words "invasive species" mean anything to you?
Don’t you realize that these bugs will destroy your plants, neighbors plants and everything? You need to squish them, if you live in the U.S.
My first thought was do you live in the United States?
Funny how now they fully comprehend what an invxsion is, but not when it comes to the southern bxrder...
Racist reveals himself
Mexicans are native Americans, and before there was America there was Turtle Island.
Be prepared cuz they'll be back once it starts getting nicer I guarantee they will be back they all seem to be gone now but they'll be back
