Love bugs??
 
The whole west side of our house is covered with love bugs right now. It is currently the shady side of the house. I thought love bug season was around September and May. Anyone else have this problem now? I better call the "bug" guy!

Hubby saw one yesterday on the Churchill Greens course. I thought he was nuts until I saw your post.

Say it ain't so, Sam!

I'm arriving later this week. I HATE those things!

Please.........not so early.....in January?????

No need to call the "bug guy", the coming cold snap will take care of them.

Thought I saw one flying around my back door the other day, but was sure I was nuts as well. I wish they would all come out so they could get their lovely butts frozen tomorrow night.

A lovely sentiment with which I wholeheartedly agree.

One!?!
 
I could tolerate one or a few I am talking 50-100 of the little buggers!Maybe because I am on a pond??

I feel kinda sorry for the littler buggers...just imagine, they only live to procreate..they wake up...mate ...die. Now think for a minute, what if they pick a bug that they are incompatible with...or one that can't perform..or what if they are gay, do you have any idea how hard it would be to find a partner??? How about the fact that they have to do it on 'the fly'...with God knows how many people watching. I can't think of a worse coitus interruptus than hitting a windshield at 70MPH.:22yikes:

Trish.


I never thought of it that they were trying to make babies. I just thought, well, you know.......they were just, umm, getting busy.


I mean, they all seem to be smiling...........but...........I mean if you know you are gonna die, wouldn't you.....? umm.


;)

Your post reminds me of the hilarious opening scene with the bug on the windshield in Men in Black
