I know they are just fruit flies. They won't hurt me.
Still I don't want to eat them.

It's a poll thread without a poll. Cool, new ground.

This is bug juice.
It has no bugs.
Are you licking windshields again?

I was riding in the back of a pickup down in Kansas... Standing up hanging onto the roll bar, going like the devil down the road... My cuz leaned over and said something funny and I opened my mouth to roar in laughter (it must have been something funny) ... and caught a june bug in the back of my throat at 60 mph...
Not so funny after all

Yeah, I learned to keep my face shut while riding. Always used a full chin helmet with face shield, solved a lot of it. Still couldn't smoke, though.

Yeah... That's a part of the biker life I would not have thought about.... Maybe why helmets are more popular down south... Nothing like that up in here. I never worried about helmets and such... Not that I did much on (road) bikes anyhow.
Smoke, does it mess up that gypsy leather vibe when you catch one of them big ol corn moths right in the teeth?

Dang those June bugs are rock solid too.
But how do they taste?

Wouldn't know... I don't have taste buds on the back of my throat. and kickin it back, there was enough beer with it that it didn't matter. But I did get to barf on my cuz, because that's legal if you eat a june bug, so I took the option.

Never caught a corn moth, but I was riding past Buffalo, SD one year and got nailed by one of the largest grasshoppers I have ever seen. It hit right over my heart, and splattered me, but good--even got some on the goggles I wear. It took three rides through thunderstorms to get that mess off the cut...
I have been through mosquito swarms so thick I had to pull over and clean my goggles to see. Times like that, you kinda do a reverse pucker under the moustache and use it for an air filter...and blow the dead bugs out of your nostrils...

I had so many cicadas hit my windshield yesterday when I was out. Yuck!
Btw, some local ice cream shops are selling cicada chip ice cream. Apparently it tastes like shrimp.

Makes me happy I stayed behind windshields for the most part

Rode on the back of hubby's motorcyle and got a bee caught in my jacket -- does that count?

Yep! You bet!
I caught a wasp up the sleeve of my leathers once, and it stung me seven times on it's way to my armpit as I was shutting the bike down. Unlike a bee, a wasp gets multiple shots at you. I have worn gauntlets ever since.
