South Korea has recently been hit by another surge of lovebugs. But romance is certainly not in the air for residents of Seoul and neighboring Incheon city, who have been plagued by these pesky insects in recent weeks,

South Korea is dealing with a fresh outbreak of lovebugs, pesky flying insects that have appeared in large numbers in and around Seoul and Incheon amid rising temperatures. Videos on social media this week showed hikers at Mount Gyeyang struggling through swarms of small black insects along popular mountain trails.

Lovebugs are swarming parts of South Korea, covering mountain peaks, homes and other places. These insects, known as Plecia nearctica, typically appear between late June and early July.
