Default Love Bugs are here
Just got done mowing my yard in a cloud of love bugs in Spring Hill/ Weeki Wachee area which is about 30 miles north of Tampa. First day I have seen them and they are thick as thieves already.

Central, South of Ocala here. Saw them pre-Irma but sparingly. Rode the East coast Wednesday, certainly not as bad an infestation, (according to my windshield), as I've seen in the past. Bottom line: been dealing with them here for about 3 weeks.
