Nasty critters. They will work on your paint for sure.

 

This is the funniest thing I have read this morning. Paints a great mental picture. Or a terrible one!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

WE call them F and K bugs around here. When you see F you c K.

 

They fly in pairs.

 

You've never heard of "Herbie"?



Seriously, here is what it looks like after driving through them.

 

Horrible? You be the judge.
Only in FL? No, FL, GA, AL, MS, LA, TX, and sometimes SC.
The only way to avoid them is to ride at night.

This pic is of the bike after a return from OH last May.

 

Dude, you should send the State a bill for extermination service!

 

They are out in FULL force during the hottest part of the day. And they have acid in them so, when your ride gets covered, you gotta get'um off or it will eat your paint. They'll be all over your house too. I HATE those freakin things!

 

Bob who posted the above pic was in a lite swarm that day.

 

That's them!!!!
I went for a ride one day.... Smashed 20 at the end of my driveway... Pulled back in... Wasn't worth it...


Imagine driving thru rain... Cept the rain is bugs that smash and smell.... And by smash.... I mean if you see one.... And try to swoosh it away.... It will splat!
Soft, smelly, and much harder to remove, then they are to attain!!!
