Almost every day. Rural living.

Yeah, I was going to say - when was the last time this didn't happen?
-
I have some roads which would be swarming with bugs at certain times of day barely have any now. A lot of the country roads by fields just don't have the insect populations they used to around, I assume due to the massive amount of insecticides they use.

Yeah, I've never had to deal with swarms of insects splattering against my windshield. We've never had that, here. But a few here and there every time I drive.
-
We have some roads that pass next to woods and other shady areas where insects like to group up for mating/feeding/whatever else bugs do in a group and passing through them at the right times would mean stopping by a gas station shortly after to clean them off. I avoided those areas entirely during certain parts of the year when riding a bike, because it is way worse without a windshield!
Now those areas barely have anything at all.
I also miss the large numbers of lightning bugs that used to hang out in our back yard. A couple dozen is a lot less fun to watch compared to hundreds.

Nothing like it use to be though

Live on a farm, I mean, it's summer, the bug-murder season. This is like asking "when did you last breath oxygen?"
-
I mean i live in a rural area (The whole state has less people than the city i grew up in, and my town has <2k people) and the bug splatter is way less than growing up in a top 10 US city as a kid in the 80s-90s.
