Is "Plecia" the same insect than "Lovebug" or "Plecia nearctica" ?

[edit]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lovebug Thanks in advance ;) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jurbop (talkcontribs) 08:15, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, Plecia does not describe the same concept as the lovebug (Plecia nearctica). Plecia is a genus that includes many species, one of which is the lovebug. In other words, the lovebug is a kind of Plecia, but Plecia ≠ lovebug, in the same way that Wikipedia is a kind of encyclopaedia, but encyclopaedia ≠ Wikipedia.
