yep. Now is the time to definitely keep your helmet visor closed.

I live out in the middle of farm country, rides after dark sound like a heavy rain, lol

I had one Friday afternoon that sounded like getting beaned by a golfball left a paintball sized splatter on the right side of my visor.

The sooner you get them off, the easier they are. I just hit up the squeegie at every gas stop I make and clean my visor and front area of my bike and they come off pretty easily. Nothing like a freshly cleaned shield!!

Being in Florida, I def feel your pain with the bugs though..
