On a lighter note....
 

While walking this morning I was attacked...by a swarm of lovebugs.

It appears the advance party is here doing recon.... The main body will follow in a couple of days.

Ugh yes I saw one pair 3 days ago, and another pair 2 days ago. Both next to my door flying around. THE SWARM IS COMING

Should we be worried ? Can they spread the virus going from person to person ?

No. The acid in their body makes them immune (:icon_wink:).

Theories on why we worry, according to Psychology Today:

5 Reasons We Worry, and 5 Ways to Worry Less | Psychology Today

"What me worry?" Alfred E Neuman circa 1957

There missing in action in my area so far

Gee, with everything else going on, I forgot about those little buggers.

New to TV how long are they around in swarms?

There’s less cars out on the road to smash them, expect larger swarms this season.

Also use a dampened dryer sheet to remove the stubborn ones from your car. The can destroy your paint if left untouched.

I hear they come here in May and September from CHINA.

Ugh yuk bugs
 

Ah geez.....?!?!? LOVE BUGS :shocked::22yikes:

Left the north not to deal with the snow.... now this? Can I run them over with my snow blower :1rotfl:

From “Lovebug “, Wikipedia.
“ This species' reputation as a public nuisance is due not to any bite or sting (it is incapable of either), but to its slightly acidic body chemistry. There are not any health risks to humans, and disease cannot be transmitted through them.[8] Because airborne lovebugs can exist in enormous numbers near highways, they die in large numbers on automobile windshields, hoods, and radiator grills when the vehicles travel at high speeds. If left for more than an hour or two, the remains become extremely difficult to remove. Their body chemistry has a nearly neutral 6.5 pH but may become acidic at 4.25 pH if left on the car for a day.[2] In the past, the acidity of the dead adult body, especially the female's egg masses, often resulted in pits and etches in automotive paint and chrome if not quickly removed.[9] However, advances in automotive paints and protective coatings have reduced this threat significantly. Now the greatest concern is excessive clogging of vehicle radiator air passages by the bodies of the adults, with a reduction of the cooling effect on engines, and the obstruction of windshields when the remains of the adults and egg masses are smeared on the glass.”
