Yeah, I've never had to deal with swarms of insects splattering against my windshield. We've never had that, here. But a few here and there every time I drive.

    We have some roads that pass next to woods and other shady areas where insects like to group up for mating/feeding/whatever else bugs do in a group and passing through them at the right times would mean stopping by a gas station shortly after to clean them off. I avoided those areas entirely during certain parts of the year when riding a bike, because it is way worse without a windshield!

    Now those areas barely have anything at all.

    I also miss the large numbers of lightning bugs that used to hang out in our back yard. A couple dozen is a lot less fun to watch compared to hundreds.
