I use something called Bug Squash by Poorboys World. Pretreat the bad areas before you wash your car. Then when you goto to wash the bugs should almost fall off. There are similar products out there too.

The key is to clean them off asap, before the sun starts to bake them in and the acidity begins eating away at paint. I've used Turtle Wax Bug & Tar Remover in the past... it's ok...
