Love Bugs, May and September. If you only drive a golf cart they don't go fast enough to squish them. Cars and motorcycles will pick up several hundred in a short drove, especially in the country. Get them cleaned off asap since they will damage your paint. Leave them on to bake in the sun and you will have one hell of a time removing them. Many recommend spraying them with peroxide, let it foam for awhile them clean them off. Also dryer sheets are said to make them easier to remove. Personally I haven't had luck with either. I had good luck with putting WD40 on the front areas that were prone to bugs and that made them easy to remove. Whatever, they are a PITA and something to get through twice every year.
