Default Everything you wanted to know about lovebugs, but were afraid to ask.

Just completed editing of a Quiz on FunTrivia on lovebugs. I will post it when it comes up on FunTrivia.

In the meantime, how much do you know about lovebugs?

I was researching these critters for my Quiz and discovered that Disney World and the other Orlando area theme parks do not have love bugs because the grounds keepers keep the place free of rotting vegetation which is the prime feeding ground of lovebug larvae.
