I’m seeing several of these posts about how there’s fewer bugs right as bugs on my bumper/windshield is starting to be a problem. Is this just people looking this up because they are seeing more bugs?

Nope. It's an ongoing extinction event.

I know it’s been ongoing. I’m just wondering where this surge of posts is coming from. I’m just observing that the surge came when it got warm enough for bugs here.

I've only seen this one and it is clearly reporting on this survey that has been made, comparing current data with that from 20 years ago. Not sure where or why you're getting confused here.
