That Was Fast!

When I park at my place, I reverse in to the spot (makes it easier to leave, angle wise) which means looking behind me.

The other night, I was parking after hanging out at Jason's place for dinner, and when I glanced behind to back in, I noticed a spider like strand.  You know, when they jump from place to place and there's like the one strand of web?  

So after I parked, I opened a back door and was about to wipe away that strand when I saw that, no, it wasn't ONE strand of web, a spider had built an ENTIRE WEB in the back area of my car!!!! Reaching across the gaps between the seats, if you know what I mean.  Like one anchor point was on the back of the front seat and the other was on the back seat.  AN ENTIRE WEB!!!!

I had only been at Jason's for hmm maybe 6 or 7 hours and while I'm sure it doesn't take that long to make a nest, we had gotten groceries and there was no web at that time so my guess is that because I parked under/near a tree there, the spider got in and figure it was a good spot for a web.  Spoiler... I don't think it is, but what do I know, just being a human and all.

So because I don't kill spiders, but I also didn't have anything on hand to move the spider outside with I grabbed a piece of cardboard from the recycling bin and knocked down the web and tried to get the spider on it to drop it outside which is when I found the SECOND SPIDER!  Which.. I dunno, I don't think they share webs so maybe just two spiders got into my car and only one of them thought to make a web or maybe they were chilling together or maybe I ruined what was going to be some fun spider party I don't know!  But while cardboard may be good for knocking down a web, it is difficult to get a spider on a flat surface (car seat... flat.. ish) to get ON the cardboard and so there was quite a battle of me trying not to squish the spider while also trying to not lose it in my car and trying to escort it outside.

But yeah, a spider made a web inside my car over the span of a few hours and I am kind of baffled by the whole thing!
