Actually Love Bugs do not swarm unlike Locust. Love bugs float and are attracted to exhaust fumes and light colors ( white ). And F/M mating obviously. the Male dies quickly. Poor thing.

The female then burrows into the ground.

They then rest in bushes at sundown and reappear when the sun gets going.

So a lesson on love bugs that you can post in September when they return, by all means you can take all the credit for this knowledge.

One thing that kills them is water ( Rain ) and ( Wind ). Which will happen Thursday Night into Saturday.

You are Welcome in Advance of your Thank You.
