just came back from the West Coast of Florida in a cage and we went directly to a car wash when we got back home here on the east side.

I would say the love bugs are out but "light". I think it gets heavier in a few months so I would say expect to get some but it is tolerable.

but personally, no matter how thick they are, I would still go wherever whenever.

My neighbor just got back from SC and GA. By looking at his truck, I'd say about the same as here. I rode around 200 miles yesterday around Manatee, DeSoto, and Hendry counties, and the bike was a moderate mess.

Neighbor said most of the love bugs were in FL, once he got to N FL and north of there they weren't bad at all.
