Real talk, it’s insane how devastated the insect population has gotten. I don’t even have one mark on my windshield from a bug, even on a long roadtrip any more.
It’s the opposite. More aerodynamic modern cars are more likely to hit insects on the road than the older blockier ones. They’re not hitting insects because there aren’t any insects to hit.

I’ve always wondered if it’s because modern cars are more aerodynamic and so the bugs go up and over the car with the air flow rather than into it.
