Vocabulary

insect or bug

Hi,
I drove at night, and in the morning I noticed that there were many things on the headlights. I would like to know what those are called. Can I say 'tiny insects' or 'tiny bugs'? Thank you.

Yes, you can say both. I'd sat that that in N. America the informal word 'bugs' is much more common.
