Are fireflies common in the US? Living in Europe, I've never seen any...

They were when I was a kid. I haven’t seen them in a long time now though :(

Flying insects in general. When I was a kid I remember so many people's cars being absolutely caked with dead bugs. It's not something I see anymore.

Obviously this is anecdotal, but if I do a road trip in the summer, I have to clean off my windshield every stop for gas because it's so bad. In the winter, definitely not.
