Lovebugs Expected to Swarm in Mid-June as Summer Pest Arrives Earlier

The red-backed velvet fly, widely known as the lovebug, is expected to appear in concentrated numbers from mid-June this year after causing public inconvenience through mass outbreaks last summer. According to the original report, warmer-than-average spring temperatures are likely to bring forward the timing of its emergence. Lovebugs have become a summer nuisance when they appear suddenly in large numbers, and this year the number of individuals is also expected to be higher than in previous years. As a result, inconvenience felt by residents in cities and residential areas may rise again after mid-June. Source: mk.co.kr.
