The Windshield Massacre 🐜😳

As we continued west after Don’s 15-stitch adventure, something happened that we’d never experienced in all our years of RV travel.

Somewhere along I-70—likely near Warrenton, Missouri (between St. Charles and Millersburg)—we drove straight into a swarm of some sort of bug… were those bees? 😳

My immediate reaction? “OMG! What the heck was that?!” 😆

The windshield was suddenly completely covered. The impact sounded like heavy rain, and for a few seconds we had no idea what had just hit us.

The timing couldn’t have been worse. Just a few hours earlier, we had cleaned the windshield and polished the front of the coach. The wipers didn’t stand a chance and simply smeared bug debris into an even bigger mess.

Once we stopped for the day, I had to know what we had driven through. After a little research, I discovered the culprits were Delphinia picta. What?!

Just another unexpected adventure on a day that was already keeping us on our toes. 🚐🐜Read more
