I hate those things. They get them down in Louisiana where my parents live. It's like driving through a cloud of bug.

The sad part is that you see the cloud and know that there is nothing you can do but drive through it.

Was down in Mississippi a month or so ago. Swarms of dragonflies! I've never seen anything like that. I don't think I've ever seen more than one dragonfly at a time up here. I feel for you guys! Took my car to the spray & wash every chance I got.

The only good thing is they only last about 2 week per area.

I live in Louisiana, and its the worst. It lasts more than that for us because weve had them here for about 3 and it seems to be getting better, but id say we have em for a month.
