I live in dairy country and have to travel on a lot of rural roads; I do not share this experience. There are still plenty of bugs. Even with the county trucks spraying mosquito poison every few months around the canals and rivers.
But those are effectively factory bugs. Artificial
Artificial bugs?
The natural habitat has been altered using chemicals, farming methods, or terraforming to a degree that the current ecosystem can not sustain itself without human intervention
I think artificial is the proper therm here. Not in a sense that they're gene modified or robot bugs, but in a sense that their dominance of the habitat is due to human interference.
