> I do not doubt this at all, but I also have to imagine that vehicles are more aerodynamic than they were a decade ago.

They also mentioned their license plate. It's something I have observed as well - the great bug decline or die off. It speaks to food web being insecure.



Also, according to the Wiki article that cainxinth mentioned, more aerodynamic vehicles are apparently worse for flying insects. It seems somewhat counter-intuitive, but perhaps the more boxy vehicles push the insects away before they can be crushed.


I can see that from a physics perspective -- there is a larger pocket of air in front of a boxy vehicle.
