Love bugs are f***ing everywhere

[Glavinsolo]

My car is absolutely littered with them across the front grill. Doesn't even make sense to clean it until the F*** Fest 2006 is over. They are everywhere you wouldn't expect them to be.

I was driving in my car wearing sunglasses, and 2 love makers landed on the left lens which was quite disturbing.

I was driving 30mph and 2 love makers made a perfect landing on my side window holding on for their lives. I bet if he could have said something he would have said to me "Did you see that? I was f***ing flying while f***ing and did a maverick on your side window."

Time to go get some bug be gone or whatever that stuff is called for my car.

They're really advertising for that new John Cusack movie about an entymologist looking for a partner.

Grrrr, that's what I get for using google as my spell checker and not checking the results again.

I remember those things from my time in Jacksonville, Florida. They would get so thick on the windshield sometimes that you would have to stop and clean it because you could no longer see the road. Using the wipers and windshield washer fluid just smeared them to a nice opaque off white layer.

[ElFenix]

damn UF for creating those things in the lab

At least they're not creepy; they're just abundant.

Popular tongue-in-cheek lore holds that love bugs are actually man-made, the result of a University of Florida genetics experiment gone wrong. [2] As the creature seemed to have no natural enemies its population was perceived to be reaching enormous levels. This is of course wrong; love bugs are not a favored food of most insectivores, but they are harmless and merely do not taste good, and thus do not get eaten. The apparent population explosion may for the largest part explained by the fact that with increasing automobile use and rising population, the nuisance that love bugs may be has come to more widespread notice: at the time of Hardy's study, the density of the road network and the extent of personal transport ownership in the species' area of occurrence was much lower than it is today. This is all true
