Originally posted by bluestringer They are actually two bugs mating. The male and female will stay attached for days, even flying around like that. Swarms of these love bugs will be around this time of year, and if you travel the highways here your car will get covered in them. Their body is very acidic and if you don't wash them off within a couple of hours, it will start to eat into the vehicle's paint.
We were going across Florida and got into a swarm of these, bug splat all over and it took a long time to get it cleaned off. They don't bite you, but sure take a bite into your paint. Lesson learned.
