"As you can see, a cicada attack can be dangerous," the police department wrote. "Fortunately, no one was inured in the crash. The suspect fled the scene."

No, he's in there somewhere after he went from close to zero to 45 really fast.

Calm down people. I've been hit by a bug or few; even swallowed one!(right moment, right time. Mouth slightly open for whatever momentary reason, gulp...)
You'd think that's reserved for cycle riders, but nope.

The little bastards do owe me some wiper fluid and a wash though. Pockets of interstate travel like war zones. There comes another little black spot, splat.

Insects can be dangerous. This car collided with a mosquito.

I collapsed in giggles over this one; reminded me of a personal "bug" tale!

Many years ago my ex and I were on his Harley travelling up 400 outside of Atlanta. It was fall, but still very warm out. He had the sleeve zippers open on his leather jacket, and a bee flew up his sleeve. He pulls over, we get off the bike, the bike goes down, and he's dancing around frantically trying to get out of this jacket while I'm getting the epi pen ready...(he was highly alerigic to bee stings). Imagine the looks of passerbys with his bike and jacket on the ground and me trying to inject him with epinephrine. The looks of shock on their faces was priceless, we could only guess what they were thinking..."Look at those damn bikers, injecting drugs on the side of the highway!

The one and only reason I haven't bought one. I was fine with the semi's and all the other vehicles. Drew the line at mosquitoes.

Moral of the story? He didn't put you both on the pavement.

True, that! Years later we would laugh about it and just be thankful there were no cell phones back then (beepers were the new rage) or we would have been surrounded by cops in no time!
