We’ve been invaded with lovebugs here in Florida.  Trust me, there is nothing romantic about these small black flies.  It is their habit to attach themselves to one another, and they are everywhere.  The male is smaller–about one quarter of an inch–and the female is bigger, about a third of an inch.  Last Saturday I was at the local farmers market and had to leave because walking around was impossible.  I kept waving my hands in front of my face.  This infestation happens twice a year in Florida, spring and autumn, but it’s never been this bad.  Okay, class, you’re had your science lesson for the day!
