It has been a family tradition of ours since we had kids that we celebrate the first dead bug that splats on the windshield.
This stretches back before we had kids to Grandpa always buying his kids ice cream on the day that he drive into the first bug of the year.
We have continued this tradition with ice cream, treats or anything else that seems celebratory.
This year was no different with a custom bug splat cake.

The Baker at Co-op was more than happy to oblige when this odd request was made. The goo was great with a nice combo of red and green.
lick the guts? Sure not a problem.!
Either good or bad the kids weren't shocked or grossed out, maybe we have broken them and they don't react to all the weird and gross things we do.
It might be time to step it up and try something they really won't expect.
