Ah, love-bug season is approaching. Interesting facts are that they were NOT created in a lab to control the mosquito population, they did migrate here around 1920. The female flies into a swarm of males and then they “fly united”. Remember that commercial for United Airlines? Anyway, the male soon dies and the female flies with the male’s abdomen still attached…gross. The milky mess they leave behind is actually their eggs. They do not bite and they are attracted to light colors. They are also attracted to car emissions. The mess they leave will eat into your car’s paint so remove it quickly. Try using dryer sheets. It’s an inexpensive way to remove them. And on a positive note, they didn’t seem all that bad last year.
