The underside of the hood has never been washed since new. (commuter car) I have lived in climates from 38 Degrees C to -45 Degrees C with this car. So it is improbable for any bug to have lived in the same spot for the past 11 years and survive these climates not to mention underhood temperatures.
I'm confident with my original post and hypothesis.
So my theory that is backed up with evidence is the one I'm going to stick with.  |
I was joking about it being a bug scrapping on this guys car initially, but since this isn't a very serious thread I'm going to point out that our under hood temperatures are not so hot that a bug could live there. There are insects that have been found by active volcanos, I believe the term is the mouth of the volcano, so a couple hundred degrees is nothing. Also I fix air conditioners and find that black widows actually seem to prefer hotter temperatures.
