Love bugs and biting flies.

[Lady D]

Anyone seen any love bugs yet? I just saw one out on our deck but it was a lone one. Have lucked up to not see them until now, and just one. To me they are nothing more than what looks like a lightning bug. Haven't seen any biting flies either.

Hi Lady D!

Are you in SoWal? If so, lucky, lucky you. We'll be there Oct. 1-15.

Hey ThirtyAGal, we are actually staying in PC Beach this time. Got a pet friendly beach front townhouse, 3 BR, 2 BA, nicely furnished for $1100 for the week, actually sleeps 12-14 and it's just the two of us. Unfortunately, have to go home in the morning. But will get out and well away in case the tropical system hits here over the weekend and next week. Looks to be heading well west of here according to forecast maps. Been sunny here every day until yesterday and today, but no rain.

No bugs in SoWal.

Glad of that. This is usually the time we encounter the onslaught of love bugs/and biting flies.

We have been here for the last week. A few biting flies, but have had a great time! Safe travels home!

My son-in-law and daughter are at the beach. She is a biting-insect magnet. She hasn't complained, and she is a whiner.

Dog flies have been terrible!
