Lovebugs are not the same as palmettos. The are small fly like bugs that pair up by the ass and swarm directly infront of every car on the road. During mating season, the front of your car will be covered with the remains of these things splattering as you drive through them. The bad thing is that the remains are acidic and can ruin the paint, and are difficult to get off. I grew up in North West FL, and on trick we used to do was to spray some pam cooking spray on the front of the car so they wouldn't stick as bad, and would spray off easily.
