If you have lived in Florida long enough, you have likely seen them flying around or stuck to your car.

Lovebugs often fly in tandem and can make for some uncomfortable conversations.

“It caused me to have a very awkward conversation with my daughter, who when she was very tiny, she caught the little lovebug and she goes, ‘Dad, why does this bug have two heads?’ And I stumbled around and bumbled and said, ‘We’ll talk about it when you’re older,’” Florida’s Fourth Estate co-host, Matt Austin said.
