Love bugs!

Yeah, those pests are showing up around here. Not sure how widespread, but I hit (literally) them between Crawfordville and Tallahassee. Only about an hour and a half on the road and the ones on the front of my car were like they were cemented there.

I think this is a bit early for them. I thought it was more like October or so when they would typically show up in the Fall swarm.

They started showing up around here last Tuesday. They're not too bad yet, but I agree, it's a bit early for them. One more sign that points to a hard winter. Our Sycamore trees are shedding their leaves already too, as well as the fig tree.

"We predict that real winter weather will return to areas from the Great Lakes into the Northeast. Most eastern states – as far south as the Gulf Coast – will see snowier than normal conditions and cooler temperatures."

Well I CERTAINLY don't ever want to see snow again! I can do without that crap.

I saw one the other day.

If you only saw one, then that was one of them loveless bugs, instead of a love bug.

I don't seem to ever see any at my house on the gulf, but always do in Tampa.

I autocrossed my 85 at the brooksville airport yesterday and the love bugs were out in force!

Yep they're showing up here too. Guess "Peek" will stay in a garage for a while.
