I (yawn) read the whole thing

Wake up!

and tear offs run about $1 apiece from what I can see (ugh ..sorry).

That is pretty expensive to me...  but I can see how that might be justifiable.

If you tear them off at every little bug, yeah it could get expensive but if you only tear them off when you hit the big sticky juice filled ones then maybe worth it.

My bigger issue are getting them on the visor and without distortion, and of course being able to find them for the exact model visor one might have.  Some are also impossible to remove while moving (depends on the design and gloves).

I hate it when I stop for gas and clean my visor and then 2 miles down the road hit a big juicer right in the front of one eye or the other.  :o

Yep, inevitable!!!

I'd gotten so used to bugs on my helmet that I had frequently forgotten about them being on my helmet and set it down on the table

It depends on how many, how juicy, and how opaque.  But most importantly- where the light sources are.  I can get away with more at night.  In the day, if the sun is in certain places, ANY bugs greatly interfere with seeing what I need to see.  The other day I had one on my left eye view that was directly covering where I look at the middle line and the sun was hitting it just right so it was impossible to see the line anymore.  I ended up having to go down the road with my neck twisted some, mostly because I was too lazy to stop somewhere and clean it off.
