These love-bugs appear twice a year hereabouts... in the spring and later summer. They are attracted by carbon monoxide during their mating flights and are susceptible to impinging on the windshields and front-ends of CO2 emitters going down the roadway. They are usually hooked-up during their flight, so when you hit one, you get two for the price of the same time and gas. Now multiply this occurence by 1000's and you get the picture of how they can change the color of your car or truck in no time flat, not to mention how they can block your forward vision.
Years ago I had heard them called "Baptist Bugs," and when I inquired about it, the station attendant pointed to one and said: "look closely at them. See? They may be two-faced, but they sure like to stick together" (speaking of how they attach to each-other by their posteriors).
