Why Are They Called Love Bugs?

This question comes up a lot. The answer to why are they called love bugs is actually pretty straightforward. Love bugs swarm in order to mate. When they mate, they stay attached to each other, even during flight. Love bugs can't bite or sting, so what's the big deal? Well, they swarm like few other bugs can. Local swarms can number in the hundreds of thousands. They can even clog up machinery. Since they're attracted to light colors, they'll often swarm homes and cars. When they die, they can be incredibly difficult and disgusting to clean up. Not only this, but their acidic body chemistry can also damage many paints and coatings. Got pest problems?
