Diamond Graphite Paint Flavor

I noticed that just 2 or 3 days after washing my 05 DG 6MT sedan, there are bugs all over it...





I guess they like the taste of DG

Jesus guys, I know this is a car site but.... <sigh>

Yes, it's pollen. You know, the building block of life?

What is pollination? Flowering plants need to get pollen (the powder in the flowers) from one plant to another one. Once the pollen is on the new plant, that new flower can make seeds (baby plants). This is called pollination. When a bee visits a flower to get nectar or pollen, it has to get really deep in the flower to reach these foods. If she is collecting nectar, the bee slurps it up with her long tongue. If she is collecting pollen, she stuffs the powdery pollen into little sacks on the back of her legs. While she’s doing this, she gets the dusty pollen all over her body. When she flies to the next flower, some of the pollen falls off. Presto, the new flower is pollinated. Because of this, flowers try to attract bees by having brightly colored petals, pretty smells, and very sweet nectar. Bees and flowers help each other. This kind of relationship in nature is called symbiosis.

Well I've never seen such a graphic representation of it. Is pollen (in mass quantities) bad for DG paint? Are you sure it isn't wax?
