Are the love bugs back yet?

[SL6827]

Any sighting of the bugs yet?

I am assuming you are talking about central Florida, if so then yes. Started spotting them this past weekend. They do not seem to be out in full force yet.

How long do they stick around?

 

[Heather07438]

They ‘stick’ around until they’re finished, usually by the end of May.

We’re getting ready for the 17 year Cicadas around here.

Do they come out in different stages in different parts of Florida?

We were at Kidani one year in September, 2019 I think, and they were EVERYWHERE. I mean 5-10 on you at a time everywhere. But the same trip at VGF there were just a few.

Yikes! We’re going this Sept. at BW. Hopefully not too bad there. I think they like coming out between 85-90f during May & Sept.

Never really noticed.
We were East of the Airport over the weekend. That was were I first noticed them however I have spotted some around the Disney area tonight.
They are just starting to come out so they are not so bad yet.

 

[White Cat]

Yes why ?

 

[Jennasis]

Yep. I'm in Cocoa Beach right now and some landed on me to take care of their buggy needs while we were eating dinner.

 

[SL6827]

I think I read that the Spring season is generally not as bad as the Fall season of the bugs, is that so?

 

[NWOhiogal]

I live in Ohio and had never seen a love bug until my Disney Trip in 2019. Very grateful we don't have those up north! But we do have mayflies...

 

[MamaMermaid]

Yep, we were just in Orlando last weekend and they were out. They weren't tons, though!

 

[snappy]

Only saw a few on the ground and we have been here for 6 nights
