Google "love bugs" and click on images.  You really do not want to experience them!  You'll see why!

A type of flying insect that mates for days. They are stuck together and look like a two headed bug. They are a nuisance at worse. They do not bite or sting. They get smashed on you car and are a pain to get them off.

Oh, I forgot. The male dies after the mating and the female drags him around until she lays eggs. There are worse things to deal with in the grand scheme of things.

I'm pretty sure love bugs only live one day. We haven't seen them very badly in our 8 years here - I've been told it is because of the sea breezes.

What is a love bug?  We vacation there but I've never heard of them.


 

@depglass, They're little black bugs that mate for about four weeks in May and Sept.  They splatter all over windshields and car hoods and can be very hard to remove if you don't wash them off quickly enough.

Lived in Orlando for 11 years.  Got to thinking and acting like a Floridian.  Couldn't stand it anymore and moved back to the Northeast and eventually New England.


@Cats3000, This made me laugh, I lived on the west coast of Fl. for 20 years and moved back to NY in 07'.  I detest summer and hot weather so I honestly don't know how I lived there as long as I did, lol.  I missed the four seasons, especially Fall/Winter.  No regrets but glad to be back home.   Heart

@Cats3000 Whay does a Floridian think and act like? 

I have relatives who have lived down here 40 years but they actually think and act the same as they always did.People in Florida are individuals just like everywhere else.

It's just a joke isn't it?

Every state should have one of those lists called "You know you are from ________, when"  Up here, we get a lot of beer jokes. It's funny and should not be taken too seriously.

@Sweet Caroline 1  Wow what are the chances that my family would vacation in PC and stay at Peeks also, directly across the street from Funland right? 

Precious memories for me also.
