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.

Hi there,

There's a quiz at FunTrivia.com that you may be interested in:

'All About Lovebugs -- the Insects, Not the Cars' -- Category: Animals.

You can play it by going here:

If you sign up (free) on FunTrivia using the link above you will automatically be set as one of my friends, and we can
compare scores easily.
Try playing the Quiz I just had put up on FunTrivia. It is about lovebugs. I tried to make the Quiz a little less boring by putting Herbie and Fergie in as their names.
