While driving to ballet this morning, I noticed this bug on the hood of the car.

It clung to the hood for miles.  I was driving at a little over 70 mph (okay, so I speed a little) and it clung to the hood the whole time.  It was amazing.  Then after about an hour we were off the highway and drove slower with stops at stoplights.  That’s when it started to climb up the windshield.

Look how much it looks like a leaf.

I wanted to get a closer picture once we arrived at ballet, but it flew away while I was parking the car.

Editing to add:  My windshield is really dirty.  My car sure needs a bath.
