Fulgoridae, commonly known as lanternflies, are a family of insects within the order Hemiptera. They are characterized by their vibrant colors and unique wing shapes, which often resemble leaves or flowers. These insects are primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions, where they inhabit various types of vegetation. Lanternflies are known for their feeding habits, as they suck sap from plants, which can lead to damage and stress for the host plants. Some species, like the Spotted Lanternfly, have become invasive in certain areas, prompting concerns about their impact on local ecosystems and agriculture.
