Bug swarm hazard

Back in the spring I hit a swarm of bees. Scared me. I thought someone had fired a shotgun at me. I never saw them until they hit the windshield and didn't know what it was until I noticed 2 or 3 stuck in the w/s wipers.

 

Try hitting a swarm of locusts on a motorcycle sometime lol.
I hit one in Montana on my Harley,what a mess!

 

Around Houston, there are swarms of, for lack of better description... Bird poop bugs. I don't know what they are, but they leave huge greenish poopy looking splats across the windshield and air dam. I seem to run into them near water or swampy areas in dusk or dawn. They make a hellacious mess. North Dakota also coats your truck in trillions of Mosquitos. Our truck looked like it was covered in sandpaper in under three hours of driving between Lewiston and Minneapolis. In Wyoming, there's a beetle I encountered on I-80 in the Summer that made the road super slick when it rained. No idea what those were either, but there were hundreds of them crunching under the wheels.

 

yah,we get the mayflies bad in wisconsin. they will cause traffic issues.

 

In Florida it's Love Bugs in the fall. Is horrible! It's so bad they have windshield washer stations at the rest stops.

 

no, palmetto bugs are big black ####roaches

 

Definitely. Trainer ran us outta blue juice and didn't tell me. Drove through a very light rain late at night on a back road in Zephyr Hills. Hit wipers. Visibility zero at 55. Still get chills.
