Handie, you open your mouth when they're around? You're a better man than I, Gunga Din.

Judy, yes, they swarm. Mainly on freeways -- they seem to have a thing for asphalt. I smoke on my patio so they like to flit around bugging me when it's their season. They are a yuck factor but truly harmless. By week two of them you're ready to scream but afraid a pair will accidently fly into your mouth. They really don't land much and are not big fans of hair (had long hair last year and can't remember doing the "Get it out NOW!!!" dance).

Lovebugs are my pet peeve. I don't like them. They're innocuous but I. don't. like. them. Their saving grace is they're only around for two months out of the year.
