Figure 3. Lovebug life cycle with the approximate duration and size of each stage (not drawn exactly to scale, adult pair 0.6 in. head to head, partially derived from Pinto 2002). The lovebug has two generations each year, emerging as adults in April-May (winter generation, larvae 240 days) and August-September (summer generation, larvae 120 days).
