Bugs in the fall

[Miscrapper]

I wasn't sure which board was best for this question so I put it here! We visited WDW in Sept 2000 and there were "love bugs" all over the place. They were in MGM studios and all over pool area and outdoor food court at All Stars. We are now planning trip for first week of October. Do these bugs go away by then?

Sorry no one has answered your question, it is a toughy!! I was raised in the south and I know those love bugs can be annoying little pests. Some years are way worse than others. My guess is that it kind of depends on the weather. If it has started to cool down a little in October they may be gone. Any bug experts out there? I wonder if someone like Orkin has a web site and can predict if and when bugs will be at their worst? I know here we get a lot of ladybugs that bite and sometimes on the news the will speculate if it is going to be a bad year for them, I guess studying weather patterns and the like. Good luck, I hope they don't "bug" you when you go!!!

HI thanks for answering. I did a google search and found some info. Apparently they mate in May and September - hopefully they are gone by October.

We once visited WDW during the last week of September, into the first week of October. The lovebugs were EVERYWHERE! We hadn't a clue about the phenomena, so we were a little freaked out at first. However, we got used to it fast, and even my squeamish little girls were flicking them away without thinking about it after a while.

We did notice that they were almost completely gone by the end of the first week in October....

Bibbidy -

Yes if you were considering the two different time I would learn towards later - less crowded, not as hot and no bugs! From what I have found it looks as if they are a May and September problem - not October.

On another note your Atkins stats are impressive. I did the diet for 6 weeks starting same time you did (2/24/03) and lost 8 pounds but then went to a birthday party and completely went off. And of course I have gained that 8 pounds back. I don't have to lose quite as much as you did but I sure wish I were down to 152! I have been exercising quite a bit though.

I should start again right? It will be a challenge at WDW but of course by fall I should be thin (and well ingrained in dieting)
