Which invasive species are you thinking of which migrated on its own? They’re typically labeled invasive because they were carelessly introduced by some humans, not because of climate change. Not yet, at least.
If you don’t think the spike of lantern flies across the US isn’t part of climate shifts then you simply don’t understand how dire the situation is. It is fact the lantern flies emigrated with the help of humans, but I don’t see why this important piece of information isn’t the most vital, why a species since 2014 has been able to flourish up till this year and not just in one season but all seasons.
From my perspective, I’ve seen lantern flies all year round when I used to only see them through during August-September. The concern here is climate and the way climate has shifted so much that species that have existed across the continent are content with cohabiting in a place pre 2014 would have been able to survive. Climate is 100% the issue here and lantern flies really are only one small portion of change we will actually be exposed to. Killing them in mass is futile, you might think you’re saving your ecosystem but frankly the ecosystem has already been claimed by the never ending and persistent increase of climate. Many creatures’s habitats have been destroyed, it feels like your solution to all this is the lib way of “vote them out” when the damage has already been done but not like last year twenty years ago. There is a buffer with climate change and we are about in the 1970s range of feeling the effects from that year. In the coming years more and more issues will arise, and you think that stomping on flies is going to help your problem. What about when there’s water shortages? What about when the soils are no longer fertile because the minerals required for plant growth seize to exist.
You think the solution is to encourage more death, the death is already here and it’s already approaching, the only thing you’re doing is adding to the chaos. We cannot change the course of nature as it stands. With the amount of toxic chemicals dispersed to drive profit of our produce, to the oils used to fuel the machines that cull them, you really think a fly is the issue.

You’re right, due to the enormity of the task we should just give up lol
