Found a nest of little spiders on the inside of my wheel ![Confused Confused](https://www.306oc.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/confused.png) How did they survive the winds ect? Anyway, got rid of them, but keep finding the odd spider here and there from that nest.

Opened the bonnet on the 205 the other day and when I put my head in there a whole nest of baby spiders fell on my head.
Had to take off my hoody and run around like a girl for a minute to sort it out.

I'd have thought they've mostly climbed inside wheels when the vehicle is parked, as I can imagine a nice environment for stringing webs, that is sheltered in the wheel arch and wheel and is also nice and warm near to the recently used brakes is probably quite attractive to spiders.
