Artist's Comments

"The love bug (also known as march fly, honeymoon fly, telephone bug, and kissybug) is a small flying insect common to the southern United States, especially along the Gulf Coast. Adult love bug do not eat, but subsist solely on the food taken in during their larval stage. Upon reaching maturity the love bug spends the entirety of its life copulating with its mate, hence its numerous romantic nicknames. The male and female attach themselves at the rear of the abdomen and remain that way at all times, even in flight. In fact, after mating, the male dies and is dragged around by the female."

Ride, side by side
touching the fire in the soul of ours, tonight as we ride
into the moonlight
fear, step aside
run and hide I'm not afraid to risk my life as we ride
into the moonlight
