Love Bugs!

[Ms.Mouse]

Does anyone know the months the love bugs are out? I believe we went down in Sept/Oct (?) and they were HORRIBLE!!!

Two major flights occur each year, first in late spring (late April and May), then again in late summer (late August and September). Flights extend over periods of four to five weeks.

Ya mean these little guys?

When I approached the bus stop, I wondered why there were all these people, but no one was sitting on the benches. That was mid-September 2006, by far the worst I've ever seen them. However, we go every year in late April or May and we've never seen any, or just a few, lovebugs. In the fall, around mid-September seems to be a much larger group of them.
