Actually that's what my car looked like when I drove to Vegas in May. I think there was some sort of swarm of bees or wasps or something. The next stop I pulled over at a gas station to clean off the windshield and try to clean off as much as I could from the car. I should have thought to take a picture too, that was one nasty mess.

Angry Try FL lovebugs!!!!

We have these little bugs down here in FL that come out around this time of the year called LoveBugs 'cause they fly around "hooked-up" in swarms; you can drive for hours in areas that are one swarm into another one!! It can be just incredible some times, and the first thing you have to do is head to the car wash at the end of a trip. They can flat out ruin a paint job if you don't get them off right away after a trip.
