Taken from Wikipedia
"Early life stages (instars) of the spotted lanternfly are characterized by spotted black and white planthoppers that develop a red pigmentation and wings as they mature. Early life instars display a large host range that narrows with maturation. Fully matured spotted lanternflies display a black head, grey wings, and red hind wings. These adults do not display any known associations with herbaceous plants but have been known to cause extensive damage to crops and ornamental plants. The specialized mouthparts and honeydew waste L. delicatula excretes have been found to be significantly detrimental to the health of host plants. "
