 Love Bugs
Yuk, went for a ride Saturday on my 2020 RTL, el mucho love bugs, don't mind too much cleaning them off, but I find these critters on my air filters, that's not good. Thinking about putting a finer screen over the protector screens.

A few of them popped up in central Mississippi this weekend. Hopefully they won't stay long and they can go back in the ground.

Used to hate those things while living in Tampa. Left alone they will eat the paint off some lesser quality vehicles, posthumously that is. It's if they weren't enough trouble while alive!

Just be careful not to restrict airflow too much....nothin worse than a front end full of bug guts

Know what you mean. Cleaned the front of the Spyder yesterday an washed the car. So bad here can't hardly get inside without them coming with you. Planning to head up the road Saturday and I don't ever remember seeing them up there. Got them riding up to Lakeland a couple of days ago.

Every year, they come in late spring, they gone for a while, then they come back in the fall. I don't think they have much of a life Never seen them do but one thing.

I wish I could ride. The weather stinks around here. Looking forward to some bug splatters.

My most vivid memory of love bugs from when I lived in Louisiana was traveling on I-12 heading to Baton Rouge. I was behind a box delivery truck. Ahead was a huge swarm of love bugs. After the truck went through the cloud of bugs there was a clear square hole in the cloud that the truck punched out!

Reading about them, I am happy to live in a place that is love bug free. Clouds of nasty insects that explode in corrosive acid upon impact, ouch!
EWWW!

Do you have to use windshield wipers during the summertime infestation of mosquitoes to keep your windshield clean like your neighbors, the Finns, do?
