Leonardo DiCaprio pictured stomping on bugs during walk in New York
Leonardo DiCaprio appeared to be going against his eco-friendly ethics when he was photographed stomping on some bugs.
The Hollywood star was seen putting his feet to work as he killed a batch of spotted lantern flies as he visited a New York City art gallery with his mum and her partner. Leo was in Chelsea NYC on Wednesday when he was faced with a swarm of the creepy crawlies.
The Wolf Of Wall Street star was then snapped vigorously stomping on the bugs as he hung out on the street. Leo is well known for his love of the environment and as an animal activist so the killing-spree seems a little against the grain for the Oscar winner.
However the move is actually a good thing, as it's what New Yorkers are being asked to do as part of a campaign to reduce the number of bugs in the city. While the creatures are harmless to humans, they damage trees and fruit crops which means their increasing number has confirmed wildlife experts.

The Hollywood star has reportedly been dating Vittoria, 25, for at least two months and they were spotted kissing in a nightclub in Ibiza earlier this month. Leo, 48, is 23 years older than the leggy brunette with whom he appears to be smitten.
Leo has notoriously only dated women under the age of 25 and appears to break up with his significant other when they reach the milestone. But sources close to the Wolf Of Wall Street star now say that he has found true love. One insider claimed that he is "besotted" with Vittoria and that she is being called his "girlfriend." He has allegedly spent the summer jetting around the world with his new love.

Vittoria has reportedly won Leonardo over (vittoria/Instagram)One friend close to him told the Daily Mail : "Vittoria is a beautiful girl, but Leonardo is of course surrounded by many beautiful girls most of the time. But he adores her and she him, they have been spending a lot of time together this summer, travelling around on romantic trips.
"It has obviously led to much chatter within his circle that Leo is ready to hang up his lothario ways. There have been many women pictured with him, partying with him, but what he has with Vittoria is much more serious."
The daughter of designer Francesca Lazzari, Vittoria has modelled for big name labels including Versace and Alexander McQueen, as well as being a brand ambassador for Balenciaga. She has seemingly rubbed shoulders with many mutual acquaintances of Leonardo, including his alleged former flame Gigi Hadid.
Vittoria was previously married to Tales of Us DJ Matteo Milleri but the couple appear to have separated and she hasn't been seen with the 35-year-old New York-born Italian since December 29. She was however spotted in France with Leo in late May when his new film Killers of the Flower Moon was premiering at Cannes
