Hi Pjk
I was often intrigued by the action of bugs, thistle downs etc with my Seven. Would sometimes head for centre of vertical widscreen, stop inches from the glass, oscillate wildly, then escape one side or other. My car had been fitted eith a small lip at the top which probably worsend. On all other cars with sloped screens bugs lift and go over or around long before contact.Oldies might remeber fashionable radiator bug deflectors of the 1950s. Some came with an air speed indicator and were fascinating, esp to Seven owners.
