Has anyone else with Cyber Orange paint noticed an inordinate amount of insects attracted to their car? I think the color confuses them. "Shoo! This is not a GD flower!" 😂

Lighter colors are worse generally. White is awful for attracting birds.

Love bugs don’t care! They will destroy your paint no matter what color it is! UGH! It is almost time for them to come out again. :(

Supposedly the ceramic coating I have helps with the dead ones on the front. But I'm taking about walking up to my parked car to find insects of varying kinds just landing all over it.

I like to apply an extra coat of ceramic wax prior to our biannual invasion of the dreaded luv bugs! ( May and September ) My Wife thinks that I have an obsession with them but she’s not the one scrubbing them off! They are Evil, Wicked, Mean and Nasty!!!!

I have found that little flies like to rest on my orange MME, yes. I suspect they believe it’s a flower, as the color is a great match for the California poppies.

Yes, it seems to be mostly some type of small fly though dragonflies also seem to dig it. I've only ever had black and silver cars. It never occurred to me how tiny fauna would react to vibrant colors.
