Flying through a large cloud of insects can clog your air filter and cover
your windshield with impenetrable goo. They can build up on the wings and
reduce lift and increase drag. It can take days to clean the bugs off the
airplane.

The old RV trick is to cover the front of the vehicle with PAM so you can
wipe the guts off before they dry and stick to the paint. Can you do this
with aircraft?
