Are you in Central Texas? I went to high school there a sometimes in the summer the grasshopper would mass so thick under the street lights at night, cars would slide into intersections when trying to stop at STOP signs in my neighborhood ?

That's pretty heavy. I remember being in Louisiana for work a while back. It was around noon on some random stretch of 2-lane highway and it sounded like it was raining without a cloud in the sky. Turns out it was just bugs hitting the front end. Our Expedition was dotted with lots of them by the time we rolled into the hotel parking lot, but this truck had it a bit worse:

About 10 years ago I made a wire mesh protector for the intercooler on my car. Many people were having to replace it when debris would hit a fin on the intercooler just right and puncture it. I think I'll have to try to make something similar for my lightning when it arrives.

I have a similar aftermarket solution on my 2014 F-150 from grillcraft.
