If you ride on the wing, you better be praying!

Funny.

Neat shot of him reflecting off the paint.

 

Risking his life for a ride with a Ferrari...that's what I call a true Tifoso

 

Aren't the full-sized survivors of this species all black widow ladies?

 

At least it knows how to pick a car to land on

 

The night before last I was driving with my windows open and a bright green mantis flew right in while I was waiting at a stoplight. It landed on the dash, turned and sat there staring at me. I was on the phone, and because it was on the dash in the middle of the car I couldn't swipe far enough to throw it out of the car. So it sat there staring at me with its little pincers up as I drove for a few more blocks, like a creepy dash ornament. Finally, as I pulled into a parking lot, it reared up and flew over me and out the window.

That was my brush with The Green Death this week...

 

That's actually a special edition deck ornament and came with the Special Grasshopper Edition 355s.

 

Maybe he wanted to hear that lovely exhast note and wanted the best view

Those little guys can hang on! Had one on the windshield at 60mph.

 

If you can snatch the timing belt from my hand, then you'll be ready to graduate to Ferrari ownership...........

Hahaha!

This is exactly what happend in Germany last summer! On the window of our rental E60 BMW 5-series a bug like this one sticked and we drove faster and faster on the Autobahn and it just wouldn't let go!! We had a great laugh... Sometime on leg slipped, then he regained control - then another leg slipped, he regained control again. LOL

He did take off by 190 km/h (approx 120 mph) which was how much we dared to go in that traffic.

 

Hey I'll make him a deal. If he can do the belt service, I'll take him anywhere he wants to go.

 

Great picture of the little bugger.

 

Is that OEM?

 

Yep, once a male mates, the female eats its head.

Get laid once, and you're done for!!

 

That was actually a cool fact... And somehow disturbing as well.

 

yesterday a similarly colored mantis walked in the garage and was heading for the car when i tossed him back outside. coincedence? i wonder...

 

Great shots.

Would have been quite the caption competition if your 355 was Fly Yellow.

samething here with the 308. pulled in to an ice cream place..looked up and there he was staring at me through the roof!

 

no mantis stories, but i do have a green lizard that stays somewhere in the front of my truck. i was on I-95 going with traffic and he came out from his hiding place.

whats funny as hell, is that he turns INTO the wind, and will purposely let go with both legs on one side of his body, and "glide" with the wind. i stopped in the emergency lane TWICE to try to save him. but he would have none of it, and hides in the grill somewhere. i still see him from time to time.

 

Do you think it was "praying" not to fall off.

 

Very interesting...
