Lovebugs
|
|
A common bug in Florida is the Love Bug. These are black
bugs that mate as they fly, thus the name, Love Bug. They are attracted
to the odor of car exhaust that has been exposed to sunlight. They like
to hang out around the highways and your first encounter with a lovebug
will be as it hits your windshield. Lovebugs are prevalent from April
to May and again from late August to mid-September. Clean off the dead
ones from your car as soon as possible. The acid in the bugs will corrode
the finish of your car

Dragonflies are nicknamed the "Florida Mosquito Hawk" as this is one of their main diets. They are able to catch flying insects and are very active near dusk when the mosquitoes start looking for warm bodies to snack on. |
