I live in Connecticut, USA, and I keep seeing these little white spiders on cars. I thought maybe they were living in my old car, but now I’ve seen one on my brand new car. So does anyone know what they are? I nearly run off the road when I see one due to my incredible fear of spiders.

And if anyone can tell me how to keep them off my car, I will owe you a life debt.
