Bug Smashing

I think the bugs hear you and are attracted. They sort of fly over to
you to see what's go..Splat.
Ya' know the last thing that goes though his mind, don't you?

His butt!

Really, could it be the aerodynamic difference between airplanes and cars?

Cars are designed to make air go up and over them, to reduce drag.

Airplanes _must_ make air go over and under the wing to make them fly.
(according to some theories of lift that have been widely debated here, but
I'll save you all of that g)

Since so much more air (with lots of bugs in it) goes past on top and on the
bottom, more must impact the wing's leading edge, right?

I-dunno, but it's an idea. :-)
