Luckily I live in Miami and there aren't any here but do ride up to Clewiston often. Left my bike there last weekend because of the rain and borrowed a cage. ( I have family there) Went and picked it up today and hit a few bad patches of them. Made a mess on an already dirty bike from the Leesburg trip.

Left Cape Coral last Thurs. in the car, are they the bugs that leave the white spatters on the windshield? Or is that another Fla bug?. Front of the car and windshield was covered with them.
