bug deflector

Windshield insect guard

A bug deflector is a shield mounted on the front edge of a vehicle's hood, designed to redirect airflow upward so that insects and small debris pass over the windshield rather than splattering against it.

Also called a hood deflector or bug shield.

The bug deflector kept most of the road grime off during our cross-country trip.
