How to get off squashed bugs?

I don't know what bugs have been running into my car, but these ones don't want to come off. I'm afraid if I rub too hard it will ruin the paint. My fiance's G6 has the same problem.

What would you guys recommended?

Try to find a pink bottle of "Bug Off". That gets 'em off, then wax the hell outta your front end and wipe it off any time you get bugs on it. If you leave them on, they will eat through the paint, no matter how much you wax it.

oyu can use a clay bar like from mothes or turtle wax ice, if this a car that gets daily driven then shown you might be compelled to purchase a bra, or tape up your front bumper. i havent done either option, i do get alot of bugs after about 150-200 miles, especially when ive gone deep into the the digit zone
