Can you spot the dangerous plague that officials say they want to kill?

I bet you couldn’t spot the well-camouflaged vermin. I certainly could.

These insects are devastating neighborhoods across America and have now arrived in our beautiful state.

Liv Volker recently shared a video on Tik Tok (see video below) about the cause of everything in her garden dying.

She reaches up into the tree,

And shockingly pulls down the beautiful but dangerous lanternfly.

The spotted lanternfly.

The spotted what? The lantern who? This insect looks like a beautiful moth.

Don’t be fooled. This creature destroys trees, landscapes and plants. It can cause millions of dollars in damage. According to experts at Rutgers, the Spotted Lantern Fly originated in China. It arrived in the U.S. in crates.

These creatures do not fly, but hop on surfaces. They are known as hitchhikers. Rutgers says they were first spotted in Pennsylvania. Rutgers says this species is a very good hitchhiker. Most people don’t even know they have them until the adult form emerges.

Experts say the first thing to do when you see the Lantern Fly is kill it. We have been warned.

Recently a river monster was also caught that could destroy our rivers.

This is terrible news for people like me, who have an unnatural fear of being eaten by something in the water.

The beach hasn’t been as nice since the alligators started appearing in the shallow water.

It seems like all of these nasty creatures are finding their way into our Alabama waterways. Guess where they’re coming from.

YES, Florida!

Check out this monster that recently entered our Alabama River.

Then we had the Pacu. This fish is affectionately called the Nutcracker. It is known for eating meat and attacking male genitals. Hence the nickname.

If that doesn’t keep you out of the water, maybe this will.

The Arapaima.

The Arapaima is a large, athletic fish. Like tarpon, Arapaima can jump out of the water to find food.

The Arapaima eats small mammals, lizards, birds and other fish.

Yes, Fido could stand on the dining room table.

The Arapaima can grow up to 10 feet long and weigh hundreds of pounds. It is also one of the largest predatory fish. Its scales are like armor.

The Arapaima produces hundreds of thousands of eggs during its lifetime.

Luckily, people have found a way to prepare it, just like they do with everything else.

I think you should try everything once.

At this point I might just have to stick to the pool.

If you live in Alabama and don’t know what this entails, you should probably do some research first.

We are under attack by a deadly and invasive creature.

CROCODILES!

They’ve been popping up everywhere lately.

They’ve even reached as far north as Huntsville, Alabama.

Just a random alligator crossing the road. Nothing to see here. NOT!

I’m afraid these giants are getting way too close.

In Alabama we now even have an alligator hunting season.

Earlier today Michael Spain posted this photo.

I had no idea what I was looking at.

I was shocked to find out that this is an alligator nest! Not just any alligator nest, but an alligator nest right here in Alabama.

Michael Spain said in his post

“This is an alligator nest, I thought I’d share it with the group. This photo was taken in Alligator Alley, a home for nuisance alligators in Alabama, but here they’re allowed to be alligators.”

How scary? You have to know that mom is never far away.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I don’t want to be part of the future alligators in this nest. We need to get this alligator population under control here in the great state of Alabama. I have no desire to fish alligators out of our ponds, creeks, lakes, or anywhere else.

Keep an eye out for these alligator nests, they are usually near the shore and have a large pile of debris.

REMEMBER TO KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR MOM, SHE IS NOT PLAYING.
