28.03.16 - yesterday we took the camper trailer 800 ks and just on dark we drove into a massive swarm of yellow butterflies.
What a mess, anyway my greatest concern is how to remove them from that radiator thingy in front of the motor.
I've picked and hosed off what I could but their belly's remain so I'm wondering has anyone used something to maybe dissolve the bodies before hosing them away.

Thanks I'm more concerned about the radiator thingy. We'll ride over to the nearest car place tomorrow and give your CRC Bug stuff a go.

Pressure cleaner, but don't put it too close as the water pressure may bend the fins.

Pressure cleaner would be ideal but where our on the road/ caravan park. No CRC stuff available but the Kitten Bug & Tar worked a treat. Soaked the radiator thing with this and used there good water pressure to clean the fins.
