Spider in car - will the heat have killed it already?

Question

As the question asks, there is a spider that has appeared on me and my best friend while we were in the care. It is really hot in Texas right now and it has gone through a couple of days in 90+ degrees. You think its dead?

It's not that I'm scared of spiders, I'm scared of being surprised by it,.

Answer 1

Sorry Travis. LOL...I'm afraid of spiders and firmly believe, "The only good spider. is a dead spider". Yes it is probably dead by now.

Answer 2

Depends where you park your car.  If it's always in a garage, in the shade, etc. the spider may be alive.

If your car is left outside... well, check out how HOT cars get in the sun.  Sometime in the afternoon, open the door, climb in and close the door and JUST SIT THERE and see if you can last 20 seconds before you die of heatstroke.  Yup, the insides of cars get hot enough to fry an egg, certainly a spider!
