Over the last couple of weeks, I was under the impression that I was an accidental entomologist, because of all of the insects that have been adorned on the grill or windshield on my car... (Well, at least the entrails)
But recently, it suddenly struck me (as a lightning bug struck my windshield) that I am not collecting bug guts, but those unfortunate insects are trying to mate, rather unsuccessfully, with my car!
Lorie informed me that when lightning bugs light, they are trying to attract a mate... and since I always seem to see them light right before they splat on my windshield, it is quite apparent that many insect are enamored with my car, more specifically, the windshield and grill!
From the constant calls of insect suitors, I have ascertained that my vehicle (a 4Runner) is a female (No male would get that many females to come calling - also, the number of suitors seems to be cyclical... hmm...)
I feel sorry for her because I named her Buster.
In any case, I am sure that this is not an isolated case... you can see, some male cars have "protection" (and I always thought that those car bra's were stupid - there is obviously a functional aspect to it - but they still look stupid)
Most cars seem to be on some type of contraception, however, since I have not heard of any instances where a car or an insect birthed a half-car half-insect...
but could you imagine?
We could have millions of cars at almost no cost at all!
But... if a mosquito had the body of a hummer, we'd all be in deep shit...
oooh....
they'd have to build a better bug spray...
like a Carnuba Off! or something...
So... in conclusion:
It is 12:00 Midnight...
do you know who your car is seeing right now?
go have that talk...
you'll feel better in the morning...
