Default Love bug season

Yup, they're back! Looks like it might be a bad season for us, good for them. They've landed on my cart in Sunset Point, Hemingway, Springdale. I've sat outside and they've decided to do their thing on my leg. ewwwwww!!! I really hate those bugs. Absolutely useless, not at all cute and icky on paint.

Just be careful driving -- the first time I saw a lovebug was when a swarm of them literally flew up on I75 and absolutely blinded me. I didn't think and turned on the windshield washers and made the mess even worse. Ended up having to drive at about 10 mph with my head hanging out the window with the dang bugs banging into my face until I could get to a rest stop to clean the windshield. At least in TV they're really just a nuisance rather than a hazard.
