Lovebug season seems to be drawing to a close! WOOH! I was getting really REALLY tired of scraping nature's little idiots off my car constantly.


BTW - If Darwin was right about survival of the fittest and all, how could a slow-flying, swarming insect with NO self-preservation instinct and an insatiable urge to hang out in the middle of busy highways not be extinct by now?

Oh well, season's almost over!!!

This is the thing I take issue with. Yes, this is the front of a car whose owner apparently does a lot of interstate driving and never stops to clean anything off.

Maybe those fires are not completely useless...

I was glad that Florida's hiway services had placed ammoniated water along the hiway otherwise drivers could be blinded by bugs - even with wipers and washer fluid!

What do those things eat? Do they feeding some migrant bird species, remove litter, or do anything ecologically useful?
