In the northeast along trout streams it's midges that swarm by the tens 
of thousands at windshield height and in Florida it's lovebugs who mate 
by the tens of thousands at windshield height.  Those you always get in 
pairs.  :-)  The Florida Turnpike has special windshield washing 
stations located at the rest stops.  It's a pipe with a special high 
pressure water spray head about 3 meters high and angled down toward the 
ground.  When you drive up to it a sensor turns the water on and you 
approach the appropriate distance to put your windshield (and 
headlights) into the spray.  It works well if the bugs haven't already 
been so thick that you can't find the rest stop.  :-)
