Guns are like parachutes. If you need one and don't have one you probably will never need one again.

Steve, i drove thru a area full of those type of bugs about 10 years ago. i was south bound i-5 around Maxwell and my windshield went from clear to a gooey mess in seconds from a multitude of bug splatters. My old wipers couldn't clear the mess so i stuck my head out the window looking, finally finding, and taking the next exit.

I pulled into a gas station parking lot and when i got out, i could see what looked like millions of these bugs swarming the overhead lights of the station. When i walked over to the pumps to get a squeegee for my windshield, i could not see the cement, several inches deep in dead bugs and certain key places they were piled up maybe a foot deep.

I asked inside, this was all new to them, they hadn't seen this before but there was a huge grass fire west of them and maybe that had something to do with it. Once the windshield was clear again, I got back on I-5 and after a few miles, no further bugs...

I hunted 051 in Nevada one year and where I was looked like a moving carpet of black beetles. or crickets. or something. Nasty! I had to get in the truck and move to another area.
