Door Mirror Wildlife

[Captain Spod]

Two questions about those spiders that live in door mirror housing:
1. Have they yet evolved into a separate species?
2. How do you get them to wear a seatbelt - the Highway Code is remarkably quiet on this subject?

[Zacs-Master]

Yes the Latin name is arthropodica reflectivus.

The requirement for them to wear a seatbelt is just a web of lies.

[Mamyalynne]

They even have their own Spin Doctor now.

And remember, don't make them angry - or...

I think they are pre-installed at the factory.

Mine are resilient - they survive being blasted out by the power washer.

I had one that lived in my door mirror, when I first drove to menorca it was there with me all the way when I got to the first stop for coffee after leaving the ferry I watched it come out and lowered itself down as if to say I've had enough of this I'm off
