Yea.
They're dried up lovebugs, nothing can get them off.

For those who live outside southeast region, we here have whats called Lovebugs, a wonderful hybrid bug created by the brilliant minds at LSU.
Lovebugs are an attempt to neutralize the mosquito population. They have an acidic orange bulb on their stomach. When a mosquito is found, the lovebug pulls a taliban and suicide bombs the mosquito.
Unfortunately, the lovebug has no predators b/c of its acid bulb, so all they do is fly around and reproduce. The acid in them destroys paint on front bumpers and hoods.
When they impale your car, you have about a 24hr window to wash the off with suds and water

You know, I used to live in Shreveport/Bossier for 11 years and I never knew that about those things. I just knew they were plenty, lol.
There's just NO way to get them things off the car in 24hrs though. Those things are so common that they're almost forgotten....except when you fly threw a bunch of them on the interstate, lol.
They also suck at keeping the mosquito population down since I always got bit by them, lol.
