Are the "love bugs" out yet?

[SpongeScott]

The density or amount of the bugs seems to be relative here. We're getting reports from some of the same areas that seem to imply a lot and seem to imply a little. To me, a lot is when I grew up with them 25-30 years ago and the front of your car would be blanketed with them. Nowadays, it's nothing compared to the 70's and 80's.

EDIT: Here's a good article on them. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/MG068

In all honesty, you notice them a bit just walking around and stuff but you don't really see them as an annoyance unless you're driving. At least right now... in the next few months that may change. It's not all that bad at the parks, nothing that would prevent you from having a good time.

"They're not that bad"

... try living here... they're everywhere and it's gonna get worse...

Uh, just speaking about personal experience specifically at WDW this past week.

And I don't think anyone can say they are as bad as this little lovebug.

they'll be leaving in a couple of weeks, returning in late August/September.
