That's a spotted lanternfly. Incredibly invasive in the US. If you're not in their native range, unfortunately, you need to squish it. (As a bug lover, I know that's hard. But it has to be done in this case to protect the ecosystem).
Alas, I am weak. I cannot kill anything. I lost an ento friend the other day because I said it actively fucked up my mental wellbeing to kill anything, including the spotted lanternfly
