As mentioned,
location data needs fixing. Brooklyn is located in Kings County, and the upload form specifically says not to include the state in the city name.

That is a spotted lanternfly nymph. It is an ecologically destructive invasive pest, and should be killed wherever found.

Spotted Lanternfly
The binomial is Lycorma delicatula. I don't know if New York still wants sightings reported for tracking. There was a way to notify the State by email. And yes please kill them. A quick solid crush is a relatively humane way to kill them.
