How do these little buggers always know when its September? They must carry around little calendars. They love the fumes from a gas cart.

Always good to miss them if possible. However, overall I have found it much better to clean them off my car twice a year than removing the snow.

Have they no shame? :22yikes:

Ah yes, the cycle of life in FL. Love bugs are here and will be soon gone and then the snowbirds arrive.

Saw two today!
 
But don't they always travel in pairs? Will ruin your paint for sure if you don't clean them off. I think the car washes are behind the invasion:)

YES! we are in Sanibel south of 466A. I was out pulling weeds from my flower beds and I was so surprised to see some love bugs! I thought they came the last half of September.
