I’m seeing several of these posts about how there’s fewer bugs right as bugs on my bumper/windshield is starting to be a problem. Is this just people looking this up because they are seeing more bugs?

    I know it’s been ongoing. I’m just wondering where this surge of posts is coming from. I’m just observing that the surge came when it got warm enough for bugs here.
