Except the smooshed love bug juice can damage the clearcoat or paint finish without protection over it. I NEVER waxed car up north but last fall's lovebug infestation really messed up my previous vehicle as we travel to Orlando a couple times a month. A good wax finish helps save the finish when you can't get it cleaned immediately. Lots of articles how love bugs can damage vehicles finish due to the high acidity in their remains if you don't get 'em right off which can often be the situation when traveling away from home.
