I remember during this time of year not but 12-15 years ago, and my windshield getting absolutely covered in bugs during my commute that stopping at a gas station to clean off your windshield with the squeegee was a routine thing you did at least once a day.
Today though? I can’t even remember the last time I actually had to stop at a gas station to clean the bugs off my windshield and I live out in the countryside surrounded by farms and bayous.
Ya know, where you expect there to be all kinds of bugs.
I’ve read the argument that part of that is better vehicle aerodynamics.
But that shouldn’t detract from the reality that insect biomass has drastically declined.
Just in my lifetime the amount of bugs has dropped so drastically and alarmingly. It is truly troubling.

Good point. I forgot to think about how aerodynamics improvements would affect insect flight paths with the wind pressure flowing around the car.
