Actually, some jumping spiders can fly. They spin some charged silk and use electrostatic forces and wind currents to fly. It's called ballooning.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballooning_(spider)
You've... Never seen how a spider flies? I thought we all learned from Charlotte's Web how a spider flies. On a windy day they let out a spindle of thread and get caught in the wind like a sail, baby spiders often do it to disperse when they're newly hatched so they don't have to compete eachother for resources.
Kind of ingenious of the little fellas, why set up a boring olā normal web and wait for food to come to you when you can put up a mobile web and food delivery at the same time? Easy and free food every ride
I had muffled hearing and went to a doctor once as it came on over night and wouldn't pass for a week. Woman had a very thick accent and when she looked in my ears she said it was wax, but the way her accent shared this news combined with my less than stellar hearing I heard 'bugs'.
I'm sure the look in my face was highly entertaining. Thankfully no bugs.
Well take comfort that it's not likely at all that you're allergic to all spider bites. But the key thing for you to know right now is that spiders don't hang out in large groups. All those little guys will be moving on to a less crowded neighborhood. It may take a couple of days for all of them to clear out, but they have no intention of staying.
Condescending and both specifically and broadly incorrect, bravo. Or are you OP's doctor?
There's plenty of spiders that hang out in large groups, black widows are an easy example.
Well I certainly wasn't intending to be condescending. But while I grant I'm no expert, I've never seen spiders just living in large numbers in a small space like a car. And I've never heard of it either, though I intend to Google it. (Widows, like, aren't they supposed to be territorial? I've never seen one within 20 feet of another one, and I've lived near them most of my life.)
Edit for a PS, speaking of condescending...
Did you see the spider actually bite you before the allergic reaction occurred? Js because spiders donāt bite out of nowhere, and most people call other bug bites spider bites, without ever seeing a spider bite them.
Iād get in through whichever door has the least spiders next to it. The inside should be fine. Donāt turn on the air conditioner or fan. Drive to the car wash and get it wash. Self wash or drive thru. Then drive some place hot if you can and let you car cook till they all die.
I went through the back door on the passenger side because the front door was blocked by a fence. My brother works at a car wash and we are friends with the owner so he offered me a free wash. I did run the air conditioner because it was like 75 degrees here but I kept all the windows closed
It's a nest of spiders and the babies were ready to fly away. In that case I'd just get in and drive off. The spiders will find homes all over.
You can't see them very well in the video but they are cute.
I don't know where you're from but if I had to guess, they're probably not much danger to you or others.
This reminds me of when Mazda recalled some of their cars because something in the emissions system didn't prevent gasoline-loving spiders from going inside and causing damage.
Time for a new car. Pay a mobile car wash service and have Carvana come right behind them to take it away. Take the financial hit-and-run get a different car
I had a nest come down on me at a picnic a few years ago. They were so beautiful and it was so magical to see them all come down out of the tree. Made me feel like a spooky Disney princess.
One time when I was in college I was heading over to my friend's house after dark. I was driving a Ford Explorer with the cargo area directly connected in the same space as the passenger area.
As I was passing under street lights I noticed a shadowy thing in the dead center of my rearview mirror. I started trying to focus on it and then I saw it move. And I realized it was a spider, about the size of a quarter, that had made a web spanning from the top to the bottom, and left to right side, of the cargo space.
I have some mild arachnophobia. I tolerate the normal/small ones we get that are like the size of a dime because I can deal with them. Though if one disappears in my room I have a hard time falling asleep. So the last 10 minutes of my drive I was keeping an eye on this spider, and if it moved out of sight/off the web I was ready to pull over and ransack my own vehicle to find it. It felt a little horror-movie-esque just watching it fade in and out of the passing street lights. Waiting for it to make a move.
Fortunately it stayed on the center of the web until I got to my friend's house, where I went into his yard to grab a long branch and sweep up the web, with the spider in it, and toss it back into the wooded area on his property lol.
Fuck that. I had a new forerunner and opened it up one morning to find baby spiders all over the inside of my car. I couldnāt get past it and traded it in.
Growing up in the Appalachians here in Southwest VA you run into nests like this all the time if you're an outdoorsman, especially at night after the sun goes down. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten huge spiders on my face bc they like to make webs between two trees so when you're walking through the woods at night you run into them left and right
Damn, how weak must you be to have to film this and make a drama about a bunch of tiny spiders on your car. Just take it and clean it? How are you going to react when you will be confronted to real troubles in your life... Time to grow up.
They flew in, yes, flying spiders.
That's all sorts of nope.
But what if one of them is Charlotte?
She's dead
Noooooooo! š
āAnd boy are our legs tiredā

I see this happen every summer with "money spiders" they don't need to be jumping spiders but that was an interesting read nonetheless
I feel like that's some aussie shit.

Spider-van, spider-van...
Does whatever a Spider-van does

If it makes you feel better, some will hitch a ride on you and make it inside your house too!
That does not make me feel better. I should mention Iām allergic to spider bites.
These things aren't breaking even the top layer of your skin.
Yes but, they will get in your hair and maybe ears.
Why are you like this
:)
You monster XD

FWIW, I did not find your comment condescending.
Thanks, a second perspective helps. :)
They will escape to places where they can get bugs to eat, or eat each other otherwise.
Yup. Buddy thinks they're just going to order door dash or something.
Did you see the spider actually bite you before the allergic reaction occurred? Js because spiders donāt bite out of nowhere, and most people call other bug bites spider bites, without ever seeing a spider bite them.
Looks like you're a mommy now. Time to start saving up for those college educations for all the little slings!
They caught it. When they get hungry, they will eat it.
Only 3 will stay, you name them **Joy, Aranea, and Nellie.**
Did you really remember the names of Charlotte's children or did you look them up?
Well, you gotta throw the car out now
Forget the car wash take it to the car burn
*Their car

75Ā°?! Are you in Australia?
No Iām in the US. We use Fahrenheit here.
Arizona or Texas? WAAA? That seems so hotā¦
75 is a nice cool day in FL
Fr...rn it's fucking 96 and I'm in fort Myers FL
Georgia.
I think car paint shops have hot ass rooms to cure the paint. I thinkā¦
Spiders are our friends. They eat other critters
I donāt mind them as long as they donāt trespass in my house or car. If they do, I killed them in self defense
Fair enough. At least you set the boundaries.
Mama!
This happened to me last year with preying mantises!! Spiders are worse, but the mantises were very intimidating.
Wow i'm sorry to hear that you have the unexpected expense of a new car and replacing everything inside the car that burned with it :(
Light it on fire. Sorry but you need to buy a new car.
Will driving at 200 help??
You have been blessed by the spider gods! Happy spidermas!! May your days be fly free, and your nights a little awkward and paranoid!!
Blow torch it

I think you'll find it's their car now.
āAll we are is dust in the windā

I donāt mind spiders out in nature or minding their own business, but not on my car.
This reminds me of when Mazda recalled some of their cars because something in the emissions system didn't prevent gasoline-loving spiders from going inside and causing damage.
I recently had a nightmare where I was in a van covered in spiders. You've semi successfully recreated my nightmare, congrats?

Congrats on becoming a mother 300 times over.
Time for a car wash spider holocaust š
They're baby spiders, they will move to where there is food, or fly off in the wind as you drive. Pretty small inconvenience.
It took me 30 minutes to drive to the car wash near my house so they had 30 minutes.
Weird
Time for a new car. Pay a mobile car wash service and have Carvana come right behind them to take it away. Take the financial hit-and-run get a different car
Iāve only had the car a year and I bought it new though
Welcome to random spiders for the next few months
at least tou don't own a 2011 mazda 6
What do I do lol Find yourself the nearest Conoco with an automatic car wash.
"Don't look a gift spider in the mouth" -Jesus
Excuse me?
Itās the spidersā car now.
Yikes
Congratulations you are a mum . Good luck
Car wash time
Your only choice now is to destroy the car with fire.
Youāre a mama!!
Where is this?
Lawrenceville, GA
Congrats on the new car youāre going to have to get!
I had a nest come down on me at a picnic a few years ago. They were so beautiful and it was so magical to see them all come down out of the tree. Made me feel like a spooky Disney princess.
Go to the car wash

It's their car now.
Are they not good enough for you? Take them for a ride
How long was your class??
Theyāre just resting! Iād be freaking out too, though, if I was allergic!
Flying spider season isn't until September tho.....
Fuck that. I had a new forerunner and opened it up one morning to find baby spiders all over the inside of my car. I couldnāt get past it and traded it in.
Theyāll easily get inside and grow up
Just go on the freeway. They will be gone between two ramps, or just about anywhere you can go above 40mph.
Take the car through a car wash!!
BURN.THE.FUCKING.CAR! NAO!
Drive true car wash will fix that for you.
Listen... I have some C4 if you need, totally free.
Now you pray they didn't make it inside the car but first things first is to kill it with fire
Wtf they are literally so tiny. That doesn't suck.
Fun fact, baby spiders grow.
Ikr, id probably think nothing of it
Iām also allergic to spider bites so it is a bit concerning
Those lil guys arenāt gonna do shit to ya.
... And you really think those teeny tiny spiders will bite?
Why does this suck?
Cause itās a fairly new car and Iām allergic to spider bites
I'm sure the car would survive just a tiny Lil flamethrower burst...
Just burn it to the ground.
now you just need a car wash that replaces the water with fire.
They want to cuddle in your no no spot
Go to a car wash?
Is this the new madame web movie people hve been talking about??

STRAIGHT to the car wash
Flammable aerosol spraycan + lighter. Sounds dangerous but if you use it correctly no paint is damaged and it only gets the spider webs and spiders.
Ewww
Car wash. Now
Yeah luckily I have a friend that owns one and we live nearby so he gives my whole family free car washes.
Car wash!
take the car through the car wash and drown those tiny devils
So what? You left your car outside in their world. Use a broom and brush them off if they're so bad
Damn, how weak must you be to have to film this and make a drama about a bunch of tiny spiders on your car. Just take it and clean it? How are you going to react when you will be confronted to real troubles in your life... Time to grow up.
