The worst I had this year caused my to have to pull over to clean my glasses/face. Hit me in the nose and sunglasses and I could barely see through the guts. No idea what it was, but it was huge and messy! Had to pull of into the breakdown lane and wipe myself off with my tshirt just to see so I could keep going!

Sorry....no pics to share.

I had one like that the other night. I don't let them stay on the bike long enough to take a picture, but that one made me think I had hit a small bird or something.

I think some guys are very bored. Go wax your bike, or carrot, or something.

I live in AZ. I think you have more bugs on your helmet than we have in the whole state.
