Not one I know either - and one I hope we don't acquire.

Sue - They hopped a ride from China to the US. So they are in your hemisphere.

Cloudia - That's a good thing. But when you read about them, it's an advantage for people but not for trees.

It sounds like they're not in Missouri yet - https://mdc.mo.gov/discover-nature/field-guide/spotted-lanternfly. I'd like to think they'll never get here, but I know better.
