Rather than have the topic cop rise up if I put this info on the "lizards" thread, here's an official source for info about our dreaded paint-detroying critters!

The anoles as well as the birds and everything else for that matter do not seem to eat the love bugs from the large number of carcases of them one often sees around the house just after their mating seasons.

SWR, Thanks for moving this for me, :cop: and thanks for the valuable information! :2cool:

I read the article, and some parts were funny... (Sometimes drivers and passenger will soil their clothing...) 1rnfl Other parts were just plain creepy... (the predators are earwigs and centipedes) :yikes: Nuh uh. Nope. Don't like THOSE bugs at all. They're the only exceptions to my 'big bug' rule. Centipedes are enough to make me soil my clothing... :: crap doh

Lightly spray your car with no stick Pam and it will help prevent damage from the love bugs.

A trick learned years ago in the LOVE BUG WARS!
