Default My Yellow Beetle Loves "Bugs"

I think it's the yellow color, but my NB attacts all these bugs like nats. It's real annoying. The weather in Maryland has turned unseasonably warm, again, and it has attracted these "bugs" to it. While sitting still.

Has this happened to anyone else? Is it the color yellow?

Yikes!

Zoomer attracts bees. 0_o ... however, it could be the banana scented car wax I use (Zymol)... ha!

I don't think it's limited to Yellow Bugs as Aphid has often been a host to a myriad of creepy crawly flyee things. Last Summer, RK took about 100 pics of a Leaf Bug that was about the same color as our little Bubble as it walked from roof to rear bumper. For some reason, ladybugs are particularly found of her roundness.

I'm convinced that Kittee has a giant sign on her that only birds can see. It reads "Please poop on me."

i agree with you, bugs of all kinds like to get on my yeller beetle bug (spiders, gnats, luvbugs) when he's just sitting there. they love to get on it after i give him a bath! i have a pic on my cellphone of a locust's shell on beetlebug's rear passenger tire. what the? of all places to leave it's shell, why there? i wanted to put a bra on the front of the car, but cannot because it it's the turbo glx-something to do with the headlights/wipers?

Mine, attracts many bugs just sitting in the drive way as well; however it also attracts yellow jackets and bumble bees!

In fact when I went to do my first test drive one of those big black bumble bees flew into the car and I bailed! The salesman got out of the car normally and with an odd look on his face asked me what was going on.

He laughed when I told him he had to get it out of the car before I would get back in.

You can keep that sign as long as you need it. Kittee doesn't mind.
