If you remember back a couple months ago, I was musing that someone should
manufacture mesh into the vents on bike helmets to keep the bugs out. Well,
in this month's issue of Bicycling, they talk about and show the new helmet
from Uvex, the Supersonic RS, which has mesh on the front facing vents...

I got a big ol' grasshopper stuck in one of my front-facing vents one
summer. It bothered me so much that I raised my right hand and strategically
smacked myself in the right temple. After I got out of the bar ditch, I
decided not to do that any more....

I use a Cratoni helmet I bought several years ago. It has netting over the
front-facing vent holes. It's not a new idea.
