@MLClark Well, they're not native to #Florida, so there's that ... I used to tell my audience not to squish the lovebugs on their clothing or skin, because it would leave a brown spot. Just flick them off.
My joke was, "After they mate, the male dies but remains attached to the female. Ladies, fill in your own punchline." Which typically got a laugh from half the audience.
It also happens to be untrue, but anything for a laugh.
