lantern flies is that the same as a fire fly?

They are a pest found in Pennsylvania. But I looked it up and they hatch earlier in the season. I guess what I see must be cluster flies and we have lots of them too

Their aren't many predators to control the lantern flies since they invaded the US and I was hoping my chickens could in some way help control the population. I know they don't eat the adult flies but I thought maybe they eat the nymphs. Chickens are so smart when it comes to knowing what is poisonous

I read where a kid did insects as a science project. When on of the judges looked at his display he almost stroked because there was a lantern moth in it and there weren't supposed to be any in the state. Needless to say, they questioned the poor boy as to where he found the moth and removed the moth from his display.

@pennyJo1960 (when did you change your ID? don't do that to old people!) I could think of at least three snappy come backs to that but they would probably get me in trouble. I'll go with the tamer one....I hoped he at least gave her a kiss.....

@CapricornFarm. CONGRATULATIONS! I still think that chick is gorgeous and obviously others do also!
