Pocus Turbocharged May 7, 2010 Share May 7, 2010 (edited) Please help me to identify what insect it is. Thanks. http://singaporemotoring.blogspot.com/2010...tched-ride.html Think it's a grasshopper. I was very amazed this this insect cos I ever encounter one on my side window before. When I drive off, the grasshopper just stick there. when I stop at the traffic light. the grasshopper quickly saliva it's legs one by one with it's mouth like putting saliva on the legs then stick back to the window. I move off again....it just stick there......80km/h, 90km/h, 120km/h in the expressway....it just stick there!! the grasshopper 's body already flying and wiggling around by the force of the wind but the legs still stick on the window panel solid....like a leave that refuse to shed. When I reach my destination and parked, I open the door it just hop off without a hoot...like very easy. I think their legs got some suction and their saliva must be very sticky.

Puteh83 1st Gear May 7, 2010 Share May 7, 2010 maybe it's humping ur antenna. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocus Turbocharged May 7, 2010 Share May 7, 2010 (edited) maybe it's humping ur antenna. Speaking of humping, I have my fair share of horny flys.....not 1 or both of my cars. This is the first one, on the spoiler of my Old Swift few years back. That time it caught me by surprise and I found it very amusing. Took it with my lousy old mobilephone I never expected this scenario to happen again. Until I saw it again!! Now is on my brand new Colt 2 years ago. I'm more prepared this time, I took it with my then Nokia N73 with closeup mode I did encounter a 3rd time during my carwash session, the horny flies are doing in the antenna, but unfortunately I don't have a camphone with me then. Either my cars are fly magnets, or my estate as infesting maggots.. Edited May 7, 2010 by Pocus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'suction force' is called van-der-waals force...it's attraction force which goes right down to the intermolecular levels and is responsible for how most insects' ability to hang upside down etc etc ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
