Ooooh, is it love bug season?

[BeckyScott]

I just realized something, thanks to the DIS.

DS freaks over bugs, screaming melt-down freaks. Flying bugs. Crawling are okay. Cartoon bugs okay. He once screamed bloody murder for 20 minutes over a gnat in our car, to the point where I had to pull over on the highway and get it out.

Love bugs. We're gonna have love bugs, aren't we? I forgot about the love bugs. Not only do they fly, but they're really ugly. And he's never seen one before.

Can someone give me a love bug update, or prediction for the first week of June? We're hitting right in full love-season, aren't we? I remember back in the day when I lived in Florida, there were times there were just swarms of them. But that was usually sort of out on the highway, do they get that bad in the parks?

I don't know about June, I think the come in May and again in September. We get them and thankfully DS laughs at them and we have talked about how they tickle us with their little legs.

I know how it takes just 1 thing to meltdown. People will post when they start showing up.

I hope there are none for you!

I saw some today, I would not call it a "swarm" but I am starting to see more of them. (I am in Florida)

I remember last May we went to the Flower and Garden at Epcot and they were everywhere! My daughter hates them so, we had to leave because, she just kept screaming everytime they flew next to her! I didn't notice them at night though...
