Man you are lucky! You should live here in TN. The bugs here are viscous. They see a Motorcycle, they'll come all the way accross the interstate to get you. That reminds me, I have to go out now and get the suckers off my bike after riding today.

Any night riding here in Ohio means plenty of dead ones on the bike and me too. Got hit the other night with a lightning bug right between the eyes. That'll make you flinch!

Try riding through wine country in California. The bees there will grab you by the collar, jerk you off your bike and throw you to the ground. Wouldn't be so bad if they'd at least give you some free honey.

I like it when you make eye contact with that huge beetle about 1/4 mile out.
You know that he is going to hit you.
You duck and the wife takes it in the face.
