I am not sure it is accurate as the shape of cars change so will the aerodynamics of bug hits. I am not saying they are wrong, it is just I have never really looked at how many bugs hit our number plate on our present or any other car. Odd place to test.
Judging by the insects we saw and got bitten by in the woods today, the population there is alive and well. We also saw a male orange tip butterfly and a hornet as well as the usual bumble bees.
you might be in a less ravaged area, round here by 63% would probably be a good thing
my observational estimate is over 90% numbers and many spp not present

I keep seeing the headlines, but similar to MR have an abundance of insect biomass and species diversity directly around me.
I wonder how much is a rural urban divide. Also agree that improved aerodynamics should mean fewer splats. Need data from a model that just doesn't get changed over time, like the old US post office trucks. (Only now starting to be replaced)
