I've been amazed by the quantity and variety of insect remains that I've cleaned off my helmet visor after riding through Vermont. The two worst were a butterfly that exploded all over the top of my helmet (glad it missed the visor because I wouldn't have been able to see much) and a bumblebee that bounced off my chest, landed on the front of my saddle, and writhed in pain until the next gas stop, when I noticed it. None in the jacket yet, although a couple have found their way into the helmet.

Meh. I really, really wish that I had my new tires on the bike instead of waiting for me back in Vermont (or that I had just a wee bit more rubber left on the rear).

Oh, well...since it's not safe to ride, I decided to at least roll it out of the garage and grab a pic of it in front of the neighbor's unused sugarhouse:
