<P> Localized lovebug flights can number in the hundreds of thousands . The slow , drifting movement of the insects has been described as almost reminiscent of snow fall except that , unlike snow , the flies also rise into the air . Two major flights occur each year , first in late spring , then in late summer . In south Florida , a third ( but smaller ) flight can occur in December . The spring flight occurs during late April and May , and in the summer during late August and September . Flights extend over periods of four to five weeks . Mating takes place almost immediately after emergence of the females . Adult females live only three to four days , while males live a little longer . They have to stick to each other at all times . </P>
