Seeing a few Love Bugs outside the bars down by the water in Citrus County now. They aren't stuck together yet though.

The only love bug I'm familiar with is the kind which requires a strong antibiotic.

I believe Love bug season starts in May for a couple of weeks. Then in September for a couple of more weeks.

Since the hurricanes of 2004-2005 Central Florida has been relatively free of the little buggers. Tampa area still has quite a few though.

Went to an event last Saturday in Plant City and the place was loaded with them.
