They are attracted to the specal speed-enhacning pigment
present only in the Imolas
Seriously, Imola attracts bugs, Nogaro attracts bird poop. Take your choice!<p>Jim De Arras

Re: Question about Imola and bugs. Seems like they are really attracted to the paint
I'll take a guess at this. Certain critters see better in certain spectra. In order to achieve really bright punchy colors, the poeple who mix up paint put extra bluing agent in. Bluing agent converts UV light into the visible spectrum. The result is that the stuff with that paint on it looks extra vibrant because they in effect are reflecting more light than you percieve hitting them. If this converted light is right in the middle of the wavelengths the bugs see, the car may be like a bright beacon to them.
