YIKES! We're moving down on the 17th and bet our car gets covered. It is that time of year isn't it?

This is a little early for love bugs. I believe October is the usual month for them.

I have seen something that appears to be 2 bugs "connected" but they look more like mini dragonflies? Anyone know???

Love bugs can start as early as the first of September....ok, late August IS early......and they can last as late as the end of October, but I have noticed the worst 2 weeks is usually at the end of September....

Now is the time to give home remedies to protect your car finish....I have a wonderful remover called FW1 Cleaning wax with Carnauba. I got it from somebody selling them at BJ's warehouse a couple years. ago. I hope I can find it again when my cans run out.
