## Caption

They’re called lovebugs but nobody seems to love them. In fact, a lot of people in South Korea want them dead. The thumbnail-sized insects began swarming parts of Seoul and nearby cities in mating pairs last month, triggering a summer infestation. Municipal workers have been spraying water in response, but many frustrated residents wish they would break out the poison. #SouthKorea #Lovebugs #Insects
