It’s Love Bug Season In Florida
Yes, it’s that time of the year. They hit your windshield while you’re driving and you better give your cash a wash or they will strip your car paint if you leave them on there long enough. There are rumors on how love bugs came to be that include how the University of Florida created them in a lab to control mosquitoes. That isn’t true, but what is true is that love bugs migrated to the U.S. from Central America in the 1920’s and to Florida in the 1940’s. They are around for four weeks in May and they come back in September.
If you would like more info on love bugs our friends at ABC Action News have a story posted.
