A strange discovery inside a parked car has drivers taking a closer look before starting their engines. What appeared to be harmless fuzz near a seatbelt turned out to resemble Solifugae, commonly known as camel spiders or sun spiders.
These unusual creatures are not true spiders or scorpions, and they are not venomous. However, their bites can be painful and may cause swelling or irritation.
To reduce the risk of unwanted visitors, regularly vacuum your car, remove food and trash, inspect door seals, and avoid parking near dry vegetation or sandy areas.
A quick inspection before driving could help you spot unexpected passengers hiding under seats, around doors, or in other dark spaces.
