Is there an entomologist in the house?

I spent a large chunk of my day ridding my bike of the last of road trip smegma.
So, so gross. I'm still trying to figure out what bug leaves that big of a bright orange smear when it collides with a bike and rider going at speed. It looks like petite pumpkins exploded on my windshield. Keith votes for a beetle of some sort; me, I'm thinking dragonfly.
You would not believe how encrusted the bike was at a few points. I got a bit punchy during one ride and named all the insect detritus Eric, in honour of the large bee that pinged off my helmet. The song proved to be the one ear worm that I could not shake (there's one every year - last year it was Paranoimia by Art of Noise).
Monty Python proved to be a good stress buster and helped me through some particular tricky bits, like during the Ride From Hell, aka Day 19.
But alas, all the Erics are gone now. Well not all...tomorrow I try and clean my jacket and pants.
eeeeewwwwwwwwwwww

Of course, I put my comment on the wrong post. Any one reading your "rant" post is going to think you are really pissed at someone named Eric.
Let's hope there are other Monte Python fans out there.

PS. Sorry to hear you were so pissed. Remember, it's better to be pissed off than pissed on, or pissed through. 'Cause no one wants to be pissed on, and if you are pissed through, you're a penis.
