Its not so long ago that if you made a long car journey in the summer months you would be forever wiping your windscreen to get rid of the mangled corpses of the flying insect world. That just doesn't happen anymore.

But let me tell you that insects have definitely not yet gone extinct, walking around the Bisley countryside yesterday they were coming at me from every angle.

Could it be that through evolution they've just developed really good road sense and perhaps use pedestrian crossings, or maybe just fly a little bit higher?

I was reading about this a few months ago and it's because so many of these insects have been decimated. There's still many millions, but nowhere near the numbers of a couple of decades ago.

Have you bought a slightly lower car, Andrew?

They've all been killed by Autoglass!

A splatometer is what you need!

Perhaps cars have more aerodynamically designed front-ends, including windscreens, that deflect the airstream (plus insects) over the top of it more efficiently.
