John,   (John Barrett at The Old Alcohol Works) you must have the right
biology text...

This past July over western Kansas at FL190 my windshield became sickenly
adorned with a black, black bug smear measuring about 3" x 8".  'thought for
a minute I'd blundered into an MOA or TFR and was getting flak, but Center
said "No, it's just the high season for bugs here".

So long,
