Florida "Love Bugs" are back.

That sure is early for the invasion. Try to follow a semi down the highway.

Very good advice, keep your water hose handy.

i use hot water with car wash and a bug sponge. no bugs yet in leesburg.

Since DW & I will be heading to FL in the near future, what's the best way to clean them off the vehicles?

The stink bugs are out in Maryland:( Yuk

They are in N/W Fla. (Holmes County area) we had a few splash on the windshield a couple of days ago. But it is the that time of year, guess it is time to oil the front of the truck.

Geeze, so soon. I guess only good thing about them is they don't bite. Hate 'em!

They haven't reached north central Florida yet.

One thing that's nice up here and on the west side is there is always a breeze so you don't have the swarms of them when parked. And they have a hard time flying in the breeze when you are driving.

The one time I spent in central Florida they were just horrific, not a breeze to be found there.

Just yesterday I overheard some locals complaining about the heavy traffic and that the snowbirds seemed to be staying longer this year and have not left yet.

One guy said just wait. Those Snowbird's will high tail it out of here as soon as the love bugs come out. :B
