Dear Bugman –
My name is Charlie. I am five and a half. I got a bug at the natural history museum. Can you tell me what it is called? Thank you!

Hi Charlie,
This is a Lanternfly in the family Fulgoridae. We believe your Lanternfly looks somewhat like this Longan Chicken, and we suspect it might be closely related, or perhaps it is a Longan Chicken and their colors fade after they die and are encased in lucite.
