Default Love bugs??
Has anyone seen any love bugs yet? Not to jinx myself, but I haven't one of the little bastards yet. I thought we usually get bombarded by them by now.

Haven't seen any in Daytona beach or the surrounding area yet! Also hoping there is no jinx associated with mentioning this topic! Be safe, shiny up & rubber down!

Not yet and I just came down from Orlando. Typically when I go south from Orlando to Palm Beach County… If they are out there I would certainly get what feels like half of them on my car. LOL

So, NOPIE, not yet.

Don't know about Lovebugs, we got a ton of little black fly's. Smaller than a love bug, but swarms of them when ever you sit down or stay still.

Ditto....Volusia County seems to be love bug free for the moment.
