The Buffalo News has generally done great work on this story. (Really, the only work on this. The paper has been responsible for just about every development, while the national outlets have been curiously absent.)

Of course, in the real world there will probably be safety lockouts to keep your Daschund from driving away in your car, but, remember, this is the movies. The hypothetical movies.

For those who want to sleep a little better tonight, it should be noted that these swarmers appear to actually be opiliones, also known as "harvestmen" or "daddy longlegs." Which mean no, not really spiders, so, a little less creepy than if they were from that branch of the arachnid family...
