It's a silver metallic grey colour. I suspect it is not a magnet but a trap. The drive it's parked on is between two houses and it does not get any sun until nearer mid summer. Bugs land on it and are very easy to spot but they seem to have difficulty taking off again. I often get tiny chalcid wasps on it and have watched them trying to take off in vain - the surface seems to cool them off. I've got bugs to walk onto a leaf and placed the leaf in the sun and they take off immediately
