Alright...

here we go I'll try to explain it as best I can...

1) Detergents use a fluoressing agent to make things sparke this can be seen through the UV sensing eyes of bugs (to test simply put some detergent into a glass with some water and havd a water standard and compare under a 'black' light, the detergent one will glow). This is why you notice it the most when and soon after cleaning your car.

2) If you were to view a white car with a UV camera you will notice that it reflects an aweful lot of ultra violet (compared to darker colours) which attracts the little buggies (esp bees).

But why are the bugs attracted more so to this colour and or violent light than other animals like dogs, dinosaurs and whales?? :P

Mammals do not see Ultra Violet, insects do.

In fact I believe dogs are colour-blind and only see black and white!!!

Here's my attempt...

Flies are attracted to white, cause flies are attracted to sh!t :P

Mozzies are attracted to black because mozzies are attracted to hot blooded people :P

Ask Silvabullit what is attracted to Silver, and he will tell always tell you that nothing is attracted to it, because he's too fast....

One thing I can tell you, is that nothing, not even modifications are attracted to red... :P

And MotoMan, I don't think Wei Wei's blue attracts anything other than a certain mountain slightly west of BrisVegas... :P
