Default Butterflies, Bees and Bugs, Oh My!

I think bees and mosquitos, etc., are attracted to open car windows because they react quickly to a new scent in the air. They can smell your perfume, or any lingering food smells in the car. Even if you aren't wearing perfume or have eaten anything recently, the inside of your car smells differently than the air outside, and that's what attracts them. Butterflies use camouflage to avoid being eaten, so they tend to be attracted to bright, light colorful areas, not dark car interiors where they would stand out and become a target. Don't know about butterflies getting power from the sun, but that sure sounds good.
