Looks like the yellow sac spider, which seems to like this variety of automobile, is found only in limited places within North America.

So...no MX-5 spyder jokes, unfortunately.

As long it's not spiders like the black widow or the tarantula.

So, I guess we won't see any Mazda tv ads starring Spider-man soon. ;)

It's silk worms I bet, but just think if you had a family of yellow sacs decide to make themselves at home  :-D
