I have never heard of this insect prior to you bringing it to my attention. I don't believe they have migrated to my area yet. I did some quick research and it appears to be a non native species without a natural predator as you stated. They are researching the possible introduction of a parasitic wasp but at the moment the only control is pesticides (which I don't like) and mechanical means (i.e. smashing them). I did read a positive of the Spotted Lanternflies are the bees consume their honeydew and is a good source of cold-weather food and improves honey flavor. I'm always in favor of bee health.
