exclusion too bad this non-member cannot field a TM extract.

The source text you provided... Unless I'm missing something, the source text you provided doesn't make it clear whether we are referring to insect deposits/residues/marks/spots or dead bugs. Is there perchance any instance of the term occurring elsewhere in the source text, Martin?

Alison MacG Dec 10, 2008:
Insect deposits, insect residue(s) Both of these terms are common in cleaning product descriptions (pity this question is restricted to members)
casper (X) Dec 10, 2008:
Insect marks/spots? Are you referring to insect marks/spots on the windscreen? Can you provide the source sentence/para containing the asked term, please? Thanks.
