Love Bug

I think they are getting worse! If you build anything with wood for outdoors, they will be attracted to it, and also the color white.
I can count on seeing them just before Memorial Day, usually, then a second time Labor Day Weekend here in North and Central Florida.
I drove through Kissimmee, FL on the turnpike during their season. OMG! Thank goodness I was prepared. You do not turn on your windshield wipers while driving. That just makes things worse. Carry a gallon or two jugs of water and a package of dryer sheets. You wet the windshield down then rub with the sheet, then start rinsing. When you get to your destination, wash the vehicle immediately cause it will stink if you don't get the condenser and radiator... read more cleaned, and the bugs will eat right thru the paint. What a wicked bug.
I'm already dreading May.

I don't see any recent postings on these lovely (not) love bugs. I've lived in Stuart, Hobe Sound and Lake Placid. All cities in Florida. We've had these little demons at each city! We made the mistake of stopping to wipe down our windshield, put the rag in our car and very unfortunately forgot about it over a weekend. The smell is worse than anything I've encountered. Imagine rotting fruit with rotting meat. Is there anything good to say about this bug; makes you wonder where it got it's name!

they are so annoying, it's hard to imagine them gone during the season. it's like you are guaranteed to find one inside your clothes when you undress.
they get in the house and then die all over the place. the smell isn't as bad i expected though.
do not wear light colors! they will want to get onto you more.

it's disgusting to see the walls absolutely covered in them. and next time look up under the roof before you walk through the doors at Publix.

at least they are harmless
