I Squish you like a bug

In my travels around the great state of Texas, I have made a few observations.
1. Texas is big. It takes a long time to get from one city to another.
2. The speed limit is higher than this East Coaster is accustomed to.
3. I don't know if I just don't remember it, didn't pay attention to it, or didn't travel as much on the East coast (not likely), but the rate of bugs that get squished on my windshield is astronomical in comparison to anything I have ever experienced. So what say ye, Texas?? What is the deal with the unusually high volume of bug squishage? Do your cars not like bugs? Is the increased speed limit make it impossible for any insect within close proximity of a highway to survive? Or are the bugs, like Texas, just that much bigger?
