Anyone want some lovebugs?
Permalink  

I'll send them right to you, I'm sure that someone can find a use for them.  I don't know how many others have to put up with these nasty little insects but I will gladly give mine away for free. 


You can't go outside without being bombarded with them, they crawl on you, they get in your hair, they will come inside with you, I can't stand them.  I once tried to spray the ones on the deck with every kind of bug killer and poison that I could find, did it kill any of them?  Of course not.  I think that they actually liked it, they seemed to want to hang out in the puddles of it.


Everytime that you leave in your vehicle you must come home and wash it (at least the front of it) or their nasty little dead That guys will eat the paint off of it.  Also sometimes it gets to the point where you can't see out of the windshield due to them.  Be advised the washer/wiper fluid will not help, it will only make a worse mess.  And they stink, nothing like the smell of smashed love bugs.


Please somebody anybody, take my lovebugs away.  I hate lovebug season!


I must go now and face the lovebugs, please please help me!

Keep yours.  I have plenty of my own bugs.


We get these ladybug like beetles...hundreds everywhere.  Maybe it's the same thing.  Also get wire worms that come in from the fields....UGH!  HATE those!  One of the drawbacks of living in the country is the bugs!

ejay I would not have to teach them anything, all they do is mate, very seldom do you see only one, usually there are at least two, the female is larger and she drags the male around, he has to go where she wants to get what he wants-ain't that great?  A lot of insects are pretty smart that way, the female rules, I love it.  So now that you know that they mate on command or mostly without, do you still want them?  I really don't think you want the whole lot of them either, I doubt that just the ones around my house would fit in a semi- they are everywhere.  Damn nasty little stinking bugs who are really a type of fly.  And I am sure that your neighbors would hate you for getting them.

Inside Out


Thank you, only someone who has seen them or lived with them could understand what I am talking about, nasty nasty.  I just got through washing my truck again, the front anyway, and yes you have to scrub and scrub to get the stinking bugers off.  Weren't so bad today as I was mostly in town, got most of them on the way home, should've waited until after dark to come home, dumb me.  But then I have too much to do when I get here.

You made me laugh too hard on that one-mini volkswagons, I wish that they qualfied for that, so that I could start referring to them as that.  May anyway, I like it.  And believe me I can always use a good laugh after working a day shift. Thank you!


Love bugs are really a type of fly that we in a lot of the southern states have to put up with usually every spring and fall.  They hatch out from decaying matter, leaves and such, then they spend their whole life mating and then the female lays eggs and usually dies. Yhey love anything having to do with gas, tar, oil, or any other stinky thing, also seem to have a preference for people as we breathe out carbon dioxide. So when you drive they love your car, it has the properties that draw them in.  They supposedly do help with the composting of vegetative matter, all I ever see them do is mate.


So now I am through with this class.  Test tomorrow.


But I still hate and want to kill all the lovebugs!


Be thankful if you have never seen any, but then again I can send you some.

Thanks for the pics....I have had those before. I didnot dipsose of some meat properly in the disposal..........I forgot that I put old meat from the fridge in there and surprise...a whole mess of those things.


 


I left small cups of water with lemon Joy in them after cleaning up....didnt leave any dirty dishes or food out to attract them.......they went away. We have an exterminator visit every 2 months and that probably helped; I find alot of dead gnats and lovebugs on my windo sills....as they try to escape, they die, i guess.

Ahh geeze! Love bugs are these horrible little creatures in the south that come out in the fall and splatter all over your car by the thousands. They are about the size of a firefly and they join at the ass to mate and fly around like that, which is where the name came from. I say we should call them fuck bugs, but I don't make the rules. Incidentally, Florida also changed the name of the Jew fish to the Goliath Grouper just incase someone was offended. Anyhow, they are a pain in the ass to get off of your car, and if you don't, it will eat the paint. I HATE THEM!!!

Actually the love bugs were a couple of weeks ago.  They are about gone now thankfully, just a few out now.


Damned armadillo, don't bring him up, he is still alive and well I guess.  No time for him now.


What is next?  Work!  I will be up half the night working on crap for tomorrow, but it is my damn fault for volunteering to work during the day.  I know better, that is why I mostly work nights.  Keep saying I love my job, I love my job. 


I will be typing, cussing and possibly drinking for the next 6-7 hours.  Who knows what the hell will get typed.
