I have seen what I think is a swarm of love bugs today. Wait until the newbies get a load of these beauties.

Saw my first pair yesterday. Not looking forward to experiencing a swarm.

Best tip I ever got: clean them off your vehicles with a wet dryer sheet. The chemical on the drier sheet cuts the acidity and helps remove the bug carcasses easier.

Being ex-northerners, hopefully you did not toss your ice scrapers. They are hard to find in Florida. Work great as love bug scrapers.

Love bugs must not taste good. Birds, lizards, bats, it is a catch one get one free deal and it does not seem to be selling well.

Beware, they do also squash on your radiator. It is a good idea to wash them off by directing a hose from the back of the radiator rather than forcing them further in.

Stock up on dryer sheets. When they hit your windshield, get dryer sheet damp they will wipe right off. Follow up with Windex.
