Abstract
This document provides a comprehensive overview of the lovebug, Plecia nearctica Hardy, a bibionid fly species prevalent in the southeastern United States. It details the insect's distribution, physical characteristics, life cycle, and behavior. The article also discusses the economic impact of lovebugs, particularly their nuisance to motorists, and outlines management strategies, including natural controls and preventive measures to mitigate their presence on highways and vehicles. Original publication date August 1998.
