OMG my car looked like I hit every love bug out there...perhaps it was because I took a short cut which was going through some rural areas since the next day I drove to same area using I-75 and that was a huge difference.

I wish something could be done so we wouldn't have to deal with these love bugs...or are they serving some purpose that I'm unaware of?

I was going to start a thread today about how much I hate love bugs, but you beat me to it.

I went to Sarasota on I-75 yesterday and they were horrible. I had to clean my windshield and bumper/grill twice.

Well, this is only happening because we (humans) are invading "their" space. After all, we all know "they" have the right to occupy that space and we do not.

For all those without a sense of humor.....that was tongue in cheek.

Yes, they are making beaucoup $$ for the car washes.

But look on the bright side ... when you see the love bugs gittin' 'er done ... one dies quickly thereafter.

Sterilize the females.
