Insects attraction to EV?

[ItsMYwifesY]

Are insects attached to EVs? Have found ants near/inside the charging port on multiple occasions Also on the charger handle.

Now our new praying mantis friend has joined the EV party!

Some species of ants are attracted to electric fields, but don't let it bug you

On home well water systems ants are attracted to the electrical field inside the pressure switches which are old fashioned contact points. Bunches of them will cook on the points until it breaks the connection. I put an outdoor ant spray on the switch cover every few weeks.
Better attracting bugs than lightning.
