Term of endearment? Not anymore...

We've all heard the term "lovebug" and people use it frequently as a term of endearment. Well, for some reason this term has never sat well with me. Now that I live in Texas, I know why.



That is a love bug. They are all over our house. apparently there are two "flights" that take place yearly. One in late April/May and the other in late August/September. They typically last 4-5 weeks. The good news is they're not capable of biting or stinging. The bad news is that their bodies are so acidic that cars need to be washed regularly because if one of these love bugs dies on it, it can ruin the paint.

Why are they called love bugs?



Because this is how they live. They even fly like this. It's weird too see bugs mating all. the. time.

Oh, and we had some serious thunderstorms last night. Thunder so loud it startled us awake. I'm surprised Matthew went back to sleep after all of that. So all that last night and now it's clear and sunny.

Welcome to Texas.
