I am back in Canada now and the lovebugs are the only reason I can think of to be glad I am not in TV right now.

[samhass]

Have they left yet?????

[redwitch]

It's downright scary -- they've been pretty mild so far. Let's hope they continue this way. I can tolerate this level (seeing about 12 a day). ;D

[samhass]

That is mild. I wonder if they are fading out of existence? That would be nice.

I still have smushed love bugs on my windshield and Im hesitating to get my car washed because they are a constant reminder of my being in TV. I dont want my visit to become a faded memory! I know, thats pretty gross!!!! :

Nonie, wash off the love bugs and pack so you and Engineer Guy can become Frogs! ;D

Nonie --- wash 'em off! They stain badly. I made a mistake a couple years ago of not washing the car for the whole lovebug season. Now there's a couple prominent stains on the front end. Not too bad, since my car is fairly light, but if it were dark, ::

It seems like this lovebug season is very mild. Haven't seen that many! Last year the pool area was infested, yesterday there weren't many at all.

[Frangyomory]

do you think since they came early they might also leave early...or do we have the month of June as well to contend with the little :edit: :edit: :edit: :edit:

[redwitch]

Fran, bite your tongue! Lovebug season is the month of May. They came in May, they'll leave in May. If they don't, I may sit down and cry even if it is just 6 pairs a day!

[jjdees]

I've read that they're acidic and will do more damage to the paint than a stain if not cleaned off soon.

I have a question, we want to come down in Sept or Oct 08, does anybody have an idea on when these critters will be active in Sept or Oct. Would like to come in Sept to catch a few MLB games in Tampa.

[redwitch]

Yup, they'll be active then. That's their time to come back. They're a nuisance, nothing serious. I certainly wouldn't make them a factor of whether or not I was going to do something or go somewhere. I just hate the things.

[noleguy]

They are USUALLY gone by the first of October
