The wife I were riding around last night in east Texas. We were dodging
the normal amount of 100,000 bugs per square inch when 4 bats starting
feed in my headlights while going 55 mph down the road. It was pretty
nerve racking with them coming out of no where and barely missing the
windshield. I found when I speeded up to 60 mph that bats bounce nicely
off the windshield.
You might want to keep those speeds in mind if you too have a friggin bat
problem.

Insectivorous bats feed by echo location, not by seeing the bug.
YOU were the one coming out of "no where" (sic) and barely missing the
innocent bats.

Ya missed the point, at 60, they died.

If small boats can be fitted with metal radar targets then perhaps
you needed some kind of sonar target. These are also needed on wind
turbines, which have killed bats flying into their low-pressure wind
shadows. Any bat experts around here?

See what happens when you chew on high-powered
blotter acid before you ride?
Just remember, when the going gets weird, the
weird turn pro.
