Lovebug ( Two Lovebugs Mating )

Description:

At 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon, I walked over to the front door, and I saw two lovebugs mating, on one of the glass window panes. These glass window panes, were to the right of the front door. One lovebug, was one half of an inch long. These two lovebugs, each had two antennae and six legs. These two lovebugs, each had a velvety black head, and a red thorax. These two lovebugs, each had velvety black wings. The female lovebug, is larger than the male lovebug. Lovebugs, are small black flies, with a dull, somewhat velvety appearance, except that the top of the thorax ( the area immediately behind the head ), is red.
