I drove 400 miles in Florida at all times of day and night between Daytona Beach and Tampa, including a couple national parks along the coasts, and I only had about 2 bug splatters.

But the mosquitoes north of Cape Canaveral were on to me the moment I got out to take a short hike.

Did similar driving Eastern Kansas/Western Missouri below Kansas City, and no bug splatters. Doesn't matter time of day, traffic, countryside, just nothing.



The water north of the Cape is called the Mosquito Lagoon for a reason...

If you want to see serious bug splatters, try Okeechobee during love-bug season. I drove through that once about eight years ago, and the marks are still visible on the car.
