Way back in the early 80's I was riding my favorite curvy Hwy. This huge bug, I saw it coming, splattered on my helemt face shield. It was reddish violet stuff all over the face shield. I had to stop and wipe it all off to go any farther. I'm guessing it was a Cacadia, or Katy Did as some call them. Big thick bugs that leave their shell on trees every 7 years. Dragon flies are bad here also. Out in East Texas, they have love bugs that will cover a car or bike in September. If you don't get it off semi quick it will eat away the paint. They call them love bugs because you never see one, but two suck together. I knew you all needed to know that. lol
