There's lots of deer where I ride. Thankfully, I've never had any problems with them. I've even pulled over to the side of the road and watched them for a while. It was a completely deserted road with the only traffic being me. Sometimes they're so close I can almost touch them. They like to stare back at me.

I've been lucky on the bike. I did hit a coyote with an airplane once. Messed up the landing gear and put me in the grass beside the runway. The brake line was the only thing that kept my right wheel from falling off.

That's one heck of a brake line.

So far....I have only hit small things.
Bird to the headlight, and a Bee to my throat...both last summer.

I did catch a dragonfly in the lip. I was heading toward him at 55mph, I don't know how fast he was heading to me. I know my lip hurt, I don't think he felt anything.
I guess I won that one.

I did catch a dragonfly in the lip.
That one must have had poor eyesight. When riding I have always noticed that the Dragonflies can see me coming, and they take quick evasive action to avoid the collision. Somewhere I remember reading that Dragonflies have the best vision of any insect, and can see about 200 feet.

One of the guys I work with hit a deer on his KTM this week. Killed the deer broke his arm and he got really banged up, the bike isn't totaled but needs quite a bit of work. He's a lucky sonna pregnant dog for sure.

Got hit by a Luna moth one summers eve on a long ride on the interstate. I thought it was a dang bird!
It got stuck under my right lens of my glasses and was flappin' away!
Man its rough pulling off on the shoulder when your right eye is closed and a buggy thing beatin' at yer temple!

And the luna moth is used to sell Lunesta,,,
Summary: Luna moths are nocturnal insects that you may find flitting around a light outside.
