@scottalanmiller When i was a kid, in the fall my friends and i would get our wiffle bats and go outside during dusk time. There would be hundreds of flying ants or termites, and we would just smack them for a while. They dont exist anymore from what i can tell when i go back home.

I would agree - while my car still has lots of bug splatters, it's a fraction of what it was 20 years ago.

Even five years ago. Driving from TX to NY used to always mean scraping the windshield clean a few times on the way. Now, barely a thing.
