❣️🪰LOVEBUGS GIF CHALLENGE 🪰❣️— Our new episode about lovebugs is live! Check it out! https://youtu.be/8XJYo3FuvFc?feature=...

Also known as honeymoon flies, lovebugs can spend anywhere from a half-hour to a couple of days attached to each other. As the female drags or carries the male from flower to flower, piggyback style, they pollinate cherries, apples and pears.

CHALLENGE: Is this a male or female lovebug and what gave it away?

Male lovebugs have holoptic eyes that meet at the top of his head!

➡️ ➡️The first 5 fans to give us the correct answer before 8am PST tomorrow will get a shout-out in the video description. Ready, set – GO!⏳

Male, larger eyes, shorter antenna(for some reason) and its thorax is rounder than females

Female, because it has pollen on it's hairs, which indicates that it has been in contact with flowers, while the male was sitting on it's back.

It is a male lovebug because males have significantly larger eyes than females.
