Try biking after rain in rural area

Yesterday was the first time I noticed any in a long time.

A few months ago when I still lived in Brandenburg in Germany (I had to clean my windscreen regularly). Haven't had a single one in Baden-Württemberg. I wonder if the wine growers use more pesticides.

When I lived in England my windscreen was suspiciously empty too.

When I roadtrip my windshield get so fucking nasty every time I stop I have to clean it cause the windshield fluid isn’t enough to degunk everything

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 1 month ago

June bugs are already out here, and I went out last night. Got a bunch still splattered on the windshield rn.

Probably well over two decades ago or so.

That was the last time I owned a car.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I recently drove half a continent. Anyways, probably 10-20 years. Idk, I don't really remember it happening much except maybe when I was a young child

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Is there a word missing in that question?

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

"Splashed" can mean to destroy mid flight I think

[–] JoeDyrt@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Probably meant “smashed” instead of “splashed“.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Two days ago.

[–] SaturdayMorning@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Few days ago. Went birding in a wetland conservation area. Tons of birds. Megatons of bugs.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've been wondering the same. It's been years. I live in western Europe. Could be an example of evolution, insects that fly higher survive more often, or climate change, there's fewer insects about.

It used to be a big issue, now the biggest issue is bird poop and lice excretions.
