I drove down the turnpike on Sunday from Gainesville to Broward county. I must have hit a couple thousand of them. They were in large swarms and it sounded like hard rain hitting the car, there were that many.

Auto parts store sells some bug cleaner that usually works. So does a pressure washer.

If it's Love Bugs (and they just came out a couple of days ago so I assume it is) the sooner you get them off the better. They have an acid in their blood that eats paint.
