The Love Bugs (Diptera)

Deep in the heart of Florida
There's a biological lab
Tests carried out in secret
Insects on the slab!

Experiments carried on
DNA manipulation
Modified to control
The mosquito population

But on a stormy night
There was a lightning strike
And fire came out of the wall plugs
We escaped our prison
Species newly arisen
Plecia neartica, the Love Bugs

Love love love
Love love love
We live for love and we die for love
Love love love bugs
Love love love bugs

Love!

Most of you first noticed us
Hovering over the fruit fields
Driving down the interstate
Splattering on your windshields

When the truth was revealed
The lab most strongly denied
'It's a conspiracy theory
That's just crazy!"
So they lied!

But on a stormy night
There was a lightning strike
And fire came out of the wall plugs
We escaped our prison
Species newly arisen
Plecia neartica, the Love Bugs

Love love love
Love love love
We live for love and we die for love
Love love love bugs
Love love love bugs

(Cool synthesizer solo)

Genetic unintended consequences
Sadly left us with poor defenses
When it comes to flying away, we're klutzes
Stuck to each other by our buttses!

The Grand Love Chorus

Love love love
Love love love
Love love love
Love love love
We live for love and we die for love
Love love love bugs
Love love love bugs
