Default Bug Photo Thread

Mild winter equals lot of bugs so I figured people could post pics of some nice splats! This one was left after the trip home from work Friday and since he gave his life for his art the least I could do is honor his most colorful mark.

And that is exactly why I'm getting a windshield. The small stuff that swarms is unpleasant.

Sometimes on chapter rides there is a bug splat contest - everyone gets a paper turkey to attach to their bike - at the destination the closest to bullseye wins.
