I hit a decent amount of them going to and from Leesburg on Saturday. They were stuck like glue on my Fairing.

They are coming fast. Tons of them in plant city area and getting to be a lot in my area in winter haven. Time to put a good coat of wax on.

Had five kill themselves on my windshield and two on the front fender over Tampa way. That ride to the Ace Cafe on Sat might just suck.
