Single Love Bugs

[jblum315]

Laately I have been seeing single love bugs. That is, love bugs not copulating in the air, but just one at a time.
Could these be baby immature love bugs? Divorced and separated love bugs? Bachelor and spinster love bugs? They are most certainly love bugs, I know them when I see them!

Not touchin' this one, folks! The rest of you, have at it. Not me!

Shouldn't this be posed under Singles?

Maybe there's a St. Paddy's Day party for them tonight.

:agree: and it's not often when this NY Yankee agrees with a "Boston Celt."

They are living the alternative life style. It's in Vogue. :read:

No. They are not midges. I know what midges look like.

YUUUUP seen 'em myself and been buzzed by 'em. Guess they "hook up" later.

All I've been told about these "Love Bugs", that they come in the spring and fall, and that the Female drags the male around with her, wherever they fly. So maybe those single ones are looking for someone to drag??????? Oh well, we know how a nuisance they can be when they are around. Biggest problem I see, (besides all the dead ones on porch) is cleaning off your car before it eats away the paint. Maybe the single ones should start a "Singles Club" in The Villages. Do the birds eat them???:mmmm::confused:

Not a politically correct term anymore.

One of them rented a room for the night, but the other got lost.

Too early for love bugs..

I've seen lots of small black bugs that resemble lovebugs except much smaller. One kept "buzzing" me at lunch today at Lighthouse. I captured the beastie and tried to get a good look at it, but it was fast and would be out of my hand before I could take a good look at the thorax area....lovebugs have a distinctive red thorax.

I don't believe lovebugs emerge as a small creature and then grow in size. Females and males mate almost immediately after emergence of the females. Adult females live only 2-3 days.

I'm not sure what jblum has seen and I'm not sure what I've seen....not sure we've seen the same creatures but ???

I am quite sure the single love bugs you are seeing are males. They are alone because the females have a head ache.:jester:
