That goes in most countries
Here in Australia i have had my windshield and bumper get covered with many bugs.....
Dawn and Dusk are the worst for bugs they love headlights, we get bad seasons when they are out at all times. We have to cover the front of the/car air inlet to the radiator with flyscreen mesh, otherwise you will get stranded with radiator covered in bugs.

Here in the South we have a "Love Bug" season sometimes twice a year. They are terrible to remove and the acid in their bodies will actually remove the paint.
An old trick is to spray the front of the car with PAM cooking spray. Its just vegetable oil and harmless to the finish and easily washes off with soap and water. Not for use on the windshield!

You can even grab a cold draft beer and a hot roast beef sandwich at the place now. More reason to make a visit!
