Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Lovebugs - Plecia nearctica, Okaloacoochee Slough State Forest, Felda, Florida. Dinner date? Lovebugs are famous in the southeastern U.S. for the mess they make on cars. Sometimes one has to stop to clean the windshield because so many lovebugs have splattered on it. According to the University of Florida website, "Lovebugs are attracted to irradiated automobile exhaust fumes (diesel and gasoline) when the ultraviolet light incident over the highway ranges from 0.3 to 0.4 microns (3000 to 4000 angstroms (A)) between 10 AM and 4 PM, with a temperature above 28°C. Hot engines and the vibrations of automobiles apparently contribute to the attraction of lovebugs to highways. " One wonders how this occurred in the evolutionary process!
