Default It was a no lovebug day
Just drove the golf cart 20 miles and did not see a single lovebug.
On yesterday's ride we were pounded by them.

I too noticed a decline in the number of LB's today while outside....looks like we may be at the end of their cycle

They seem to be absent early in the morning and late in the day. Just my observation.

The Love Bugs are still around but have declined and will likely be gone by the weekend.

The simple reason, Love Bugs are attracted to, White, and most of all Exhaust Fumes.

Don't wear light colored tops and if possible roads.

My computer desk faces the back windows of our lanai so I look out several hours a day. No bugs on the window today. Also, did a McD drive-thru dinner tonight (Lady Lake/441 location). Sat in the parking lot with the windows down to eat. Didn't see a single bug. Good riddance!
