A Dutch driver would have needed a pair of rubber gloves to get into their car, after it was cocooned in a huge web by moth larvae.
Believed to be a Honda - more down to its shape than a legible name - the car was smothered in a communal web of ermine moth caterpillars.
The bugs colonised the vehicle in Rotterdam as they searched for food.
The creatures, which are also found in the UK, are noted for the silken webs they spin in their larval stage, when they feed in large groups.
Usually seen during May and June covering garden shrubs, they're mostly considered a "minor and temporary nuisance" as they eat the host plant.
However, that's unlikely to come as much consolation to the owner of the car in Rotterdam, which has been covered by vast numbers of the caterpillars - believed to have dropped from their favoured tree nearby.
The web can remain for weeks as the animal attempts to suck up all the goodness they can before turning into the moths, which have a wingspan of around 2-2.5cm.
"It looked like a scene from a horror movie," one onlooker said.
News of the car cocoon comes as the UK sees one if the biggest invasions of butterflies in living memory.
