When Lovebugs Attack!


These little pests are all over the place down here! The first time I saw a pair flying around I thought, "what an odd looking bug." It wasn't until I saw one land and looked a little closer that I realized they were attached. Apparently, they come out in full force during this time of year and cover most everything outdoors. One of the Master Sergeants I work with advised me to coat the front of my truck with baby oil to keep them from sticking to the paint because they can apparently cause damage to the paint. But they are certainly interesting to watch, especially when flying--sometimes they aren't completely in sync with each other. There have also been sightings in Oklahoma, so beware!
