Don't know about bugs and tar, but a big nemesis in the Pacific NW is tree sap. It can eat into the paint if left on too long.
A body shop owner uses rubbing alcohol on tree sap. Soak a rag with it and cover the blob of sap for a minute or two. It breaks down the gooey sap and wipes right off.

Coconut oil works well for me, much like olive oil mentioned earlier.
Not sure why but it pulls the tar and such right off. I also use it for hand cleaner, pulls the grease, oil and grime right off.
Soft hands as well
