Default Dem sum fast bugs !!!

Was out for a short ride the other day and when&nbsp\\;I got home had to clean the windshield. No big deal, When I started cleaning it, I noticed a big bug splat on the inside of the windshield !! That critter had to have been in one heck of a hurry to do that. Any of you ever ran across anything like this?

I get them on the inside all the time.&nbsp\\; Just went through the June Bug season here in IL.&nbsp\\; Right before the sun sets you can see them coming at you from a good distance, they make a heck of a mess.&nbsp\\; Last year I hit some kind of bug which had to be big, first hit me in the leg, then I had guts on my chest, glasses, dash and inside of windshield.&nbsp\\; Had to pull over and clean everything off.
