ASK CHRIS: “ARE LOVEBUGS BITING BUGS?”
Good news: adult lovebugs don’t bite or sting. They feed on nectar, and their larvae help break down decaying plant material.
They may be unwelcome on your windshield, but there’s more to them than the mess they leave behind.
Understanding an insect’s role can help you tell the difference between a household concern and a seasonal nuisance.
Florida gives us plenty of opportunities to ask, “What IS that bug?” We’re happy to make learning about them a little less intimidating.
