Love Bug Season

It is love bug season in Florida.
These pesky critters are everywhere. Apparently September is the season of Love. ~Unfortunate for those who were flying near the interstate. Just look at this picture of the front of our car. It was a mess.
This brings up a question for me... why are they called love bugs?

Does this look like love to you?







One bug leads and the other just blindly follows... I thought that there was something wrong with that picture.
Then I googled 'love bug' (be careful googling things like that). I found that the larger bug is the female and the male joins on and just follows where she goes.
Hmmmm~





This is more of my idea~



Happy Fall y'all!
