They will come off very easily. You really don’t have to rub very hard. I then take a hose or go to the car wash and rinse the area. I have done this for years and have not had issues with the paint.

We drove from The Villages to Key Largo yesterday. We had to clear the windshield half way here and then again when we got here. Also had to have the car washed due to those bugs.

They will have been born and started flying around for several days to a week before you even notice them. At that point, it's around 2 weeks til they seem to disappear. Happens usually in mid-May, and again in early September and can vary by a week or two depending on the climate.

Update: I got swarmed on my way down to West Palm Beach area today. It caught us on Florida's Turnpike near Kissimmee/Orlando and continued on and off all the way to Yeehaw Junction.
