We went to Sarasota for Easter Weekend---traveling on I-75 near Tampa--our car was covered. Fortunately we also had rain which washed them off. They were in Sarasota---not many but we were out in the yard and they were flying around. We have also seen several today in The Villages flying around.

Yep they are here!

At the first sign of those dreaded love bug we head north! Why can't they find a way to rid the state of them?

Pesky bugs
 
Can someone please tell these bugs that they are here early and it's not May 1st yet? Maybe they will go away a few weeks early.

That reminds me of a saying: How can you identify a very friendly motorcyclist? Answer: At the bugs between his/her teeth.

I swatted down a couple of them yesterday while taking a break mowing my lawn. It did'nt take long for the anoles to get them and give me a thumbs up for the meal!

How long do they stay around, do they come in the house?

Lovebugs are normally around the month of May and the month of September. They will come into the house or garage if the door is left open.

I've had them come into the house on people's clothing, especially if they are wearing white. Last year we had a particularly bad season of them and I found them dead in my house for weeks. I hope this season, since they are early, that maybe we will be spared some. Oh well, they are better than a sinkhole. :(
