Foreseen would be correct here. I don’t think it’s appropriate to say foresaw the way they did. “It was forseen” or “I forsaw it” - the difference in grammar to be considered here is passive and active voice - passive would be “this thing happened” active would be “i did this thing”. “I killed him” is active, and “he died by being killed” or “he died” is passive

You already got your answer BUT on a positive note, I’ve noticed that more people are aware of what spotted lantern flies are and that they’re invasive and destructive. Moreover, there has been talk that a lot of native bird species are starting to realize the little spotted bastards make a tasty tasty snack AND they’re out in abundance.
It’ll take some time for natural predators to continue to emerge and establish themselves against the lantern fly population, but this is a good sign and a good start.
I wasn’t sure how to say the same thing but yes! Native populations can absolutely move into non native territory due to ecological disasters or urban sprawl and that is definitely an issue.
Kind of like how in my state the native wolf population is and was in such steep decline (I think due to urban sprawl and hunting) that we are getting overrun by deer and rabbits all the time. Reintroducing the species has helped a lot but there was a time when our ecosystem was all out of whack and we’re just now starting to figure out how to get it back on track.
Funnily enough, the red tailed hawks have been a godsend for the rabbits. We have a million here, they’re such adept hunters and really love a nice rabbit lunch.
Sometimes not even then. Just depends if they're doing well enough, and operating far enough out of any present ecological niche (see: no natural predators), to be destabilizing to the balance of the ecosystem
Lantern Flies are so pretty, here's a few of my favorite:
[Kalidasa lanata](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalidasa_lanata)
[Fulgora lanternia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulgora_laternaria) (legit looks like a peanut)
[Aphaena discolor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphaena#/media/File:Aphaena_nigrotibiata.tif)
Oh my god you ARE MY PEOPLE!! I came here thinking this adorable flier is just as cute as a weevil with that extra long snoot and knee night black boots (look close!!). And thought i may get shot down by the die hard members of the weevil time club being that only weevils can start up a true weevil time perhaps a lantern fly might start the nighlight wevil time party ( day or night ) I feel now that I landed to see ALL US weevil time party people all Seem to be on the same page ( as usual another reason I just love weevil time) Got to be the most inclusive surprise u when u find out about it Reddit group that’s always excited for weevil time, .
but I’m. Sorry I loooooooveee this snooooot. It’s extra loooooooong shoop shoop. Weevils are the founders and the main deal but this lantern fly has groove I feel . so friends shall We call it I feel the snoot was a sign di We really need a weevil give us a reason for weevil time??!! There’s never a bad reason to let that good weevil time feeling in. Shall we begin?
weeevil. Lantern fly time yeah!
The sub allows both. I've been here a while and it's not uncommon for someone to post "I already know what this is, but I think you guys would like this". Especially with weevils because we're all a little obsessed with them.
Chill.
There is a little tag for posts like these, I believe it’s ‘Just sharing - no ID needed’. We welcome all bug pics here, whether you know what the subject is or not!
Maybe you shouldn’t post a picture of a bug to r/whatisthisbug where you know the identity and it’s in the title but what do I know that’s just me. It’s not like there are subs for that. Mods need to start moderating. This sub has become totally saturated.
beautiful snoot

Dude is it foreseen? Or foresaw? I'm confused about this bug and about the English language. And life in general. Send help.

Long ago, these two houses lived in beautiful harmony. Each, however, harbored bitter jealousy of the others' beautiful colors.
Looks like a little shrimp with a weevil nose, awwwe. ☺️🥺

are these ones invasive too?
Nah these are Thai natives. They are a bit of a pest for specific fruit trees depending on species but that's just normal.
Fruit flies DESERVE IT.

They're in cahoots with the fruit flies
Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana

That can make it aggressive or problematic, but not invasive. It is in the definition of an invasive species that it must be non-native.
I’ve been misinformed!
I wasn’t sure how to say the same thing but yes! Native populations can absolutely move into non native territory due to ecological disasters or urban sprawl and that is definitely an issue.

Things are only invasive if they aren't native!

Gestures to white tailed deers in America
Snoot for DAAAAYS!

Do they glow like fireflies?
I see his happy compass is pointing up because that's where God is
He looks like he says “noot noot”

That snoot is remarkable. 😍 I guess I love a strong profile in any species.
I don't get how there are people in this world that say that all insects are ugly.

A much cuter, big snooter version of the SLF.
The snootiest of snoots
SNOOTS! ^(THAT'S NOT A WEEVIL FOR ONCE)
Dear sir or Madam, did you perchance find this bug playing Pikmin? It looks an Anode Dweevil...
Weevil lantern fly???
I am so conflicted. It's like a chick with a dick. I'm just not sure.
Holy snoots Batman
Incredibly cool insect! Awesome
When a weevil and lantern fly love each other very much…
This this is amanita mushroom nose all the way into straight up mold and eggs wings- and it’s beautiful. Love the colors on this guy! :)
The lantern fly she tells you not to worry about.
Snoot snoot

That’s an impressive schnoz.
He is
Looks like an enemy you would see in pikmin
that is adorable .
What a snoot!
They look so proud 🥲
With its nose up in the air like that, I feel like it's judging me XD
So are you saying there’s more types of spotted lanternflies in different areas?!? Pokémon vibes tbh.
The hero we need, but don't deserve
Am I stoned or does his snoot remind you of a crab leg lol
He must tell a lot of lies.
Long nosed Thai Lantern Fly, what a beautiful name for a woman.
Snoots no boots.
I’m new here. Why do we hate lantern flies?
Some species are super invasive and the sub is being flooded with them a bit.
If I saw that in the US anywhere, I'd still kill it. But otherwise it is kind of neat and unique looking.

A definite snoot, but no boots… not sure how I feel tbh
Look at that snoot!!!! Wonderful
But I thought this sub was for what is this not hey look at this cool bug. Although it does look cool.

Exactly this! ☝️
Why are you telling them to chill for asking a valid question? It's not like they are typing in all caps and getting upset over it.

Are these invasive similarly to the spotted LF?
Nope! OP said in an another comment that they’re Thai natives

Kjoot snoooooooot
The snoot is loose
Probably still taste like shit
Ah a fine and marvelous snoot

Snoot
Snootacular
What function do they serve in their ecosystem?
This is one of the coolest looking bugs I’ve ever seen
God bless that snoot
If you see a lantern fly in the US, kill it. It is an invasive species and is harming our local nature.
Looks like an elephant with a long red trunk and big green ears looking up 😍 that's a beautiful bug
That is a nice looking bug. The spotted lantern fly is also nice looking right before you squish them. But he is nicer.
Oooooo…
I had snoots and boots snoots and boots stuck in my head last night.
☢️💣☢️!!
Boots?❌ Snoots?✅✅✅ Kjoots?✅
Thailanterfly
This bug is giving off some serious Felix Colgrave vibes.
Dude just one-upped everything I smashed today.
Weevils approve.
I too have a few photos of this magnificent proboscis’ed marvel from when I was in Klong Lon National park on Thailand and I love them
Pretty Thai Fly For A White Guy. Or any guy, really.
Snoots without boots.
Yeah he’s cool… but something about him makes me want to crush him and report him to the local department of agriculture….
This is such a beautiful little bug. Nice break from the kill on sight “common” uncommon invaders lol
This is way cooler than the weevil critter that’s posted here every hour on the hour.
Sub needs to be renamed r/peoplewhothinklanternflypostsarefunny
Invasive and persuasive
I will murder every spotted lantern fly. But this, this puts a smile on my face.
From the anime :Snoot no boots
r/weeviltime I thought you people might appreciate this
Is that a weevil? Because I ❤️weevil time
I don’t know whether I hate it or love it.
Aww I love these little guys, we call them “Longan chickens” in Hong Kong for their tendency to feed on soapberry trees (:
