Stock up on glass cleaner and paper towels for your windshield.

It's not too bad here... at least not yet. I just came back from Wally World and saw some. Nothing can hold a candle to the year I was at Disney and they had one of the worst seasons ever. You know those white benches at the bus stops? Well they were black and they were moving!!

Bugs don't bother me too much but those benches moving was wrong on so many levels!!

Blech.

I was at the pool yesterday and they were dive-bombing me. My friend was visiting from CT and had no idea what the heck was going on!

There were some on my car here in South Carolina yesterday but they're never as bad as you guys get in Florida, the "Love Bug" capital of the world.

Oh yeah.

He, he, he.

Virgo10,
Thank for posting the picture I always wondered what they looked like. For some reason I was imagining box elder bugs. I don't like bugs, but they are not as bad as I thought they would be. How long do they last? Will I see them on my trip I arrive the 24th of September?

I drove to Miami and back last weekend. I didn't have any problem until just south of Orlando. All of sudden we were hit by an entire swarm of lovebugs. I must have had 60 of them splatted on my windshield and they wouldn't wash off. When I got home, I looked at the front of the car. Disgusting! I had to immediately was the car. It took a lot of scrubbing, but I managed to get them off. Yuck!

Probably more than you ever wanted to know about Love Bugs.

And Now For Some Love Bug Humor!

Yes, I would certainly think you'll see the bugs in abundance during your trip.

they are really really bad here right now. There must be a 100 on swarming around my front door. We feel like we are trapped!!
