ಪ್ರಕೃತಿ ಮತ್ತೆ ಕಚ್ಚುತ್ತದೆ

ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗಿ something in the Mazda 6 fuel line is warm and inviting for the yellow sac spider, ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ಅವರು ಸಾಕಷ್ಟು ಆಫ್ ತೆರಪಿನ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಗಳು ವೆಬ್ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಲು ಎಂದು 4 ಸಿಲಿಂಡರ್ ವಾಹನಗಳು (ಮತ್ತು 6!). ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಯನ್ನು ಪರಿಗಣಿಸಿತು ಒಂದು “ಜೇಡ ಮುತ್ತಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವಿಕೆಗೆ” ಕಾರ್ ಕಂಪನಿ, and the clogged vent lines then can lead to a cracked gas tank and the possibility of a fire.

“A certain type of spider may weave a web in the evaporative canister vent line and this may cause a restriction of the line”

So far only 20 cases are confirmed, but this problem is prolific enough that it has lead to a recall of over 52,000 sedans! I think it’s high time the major car companies hire entomology consultants – after all, my retainer would be a lot less than the cost of that recall…

I consulted with our resident team of arachnologists here at the ಸಿಎಎಸ್, and the above image does appear to be a sac spider. It’s too hard to tell from the image, but it’s probably not an egregious taxonomic failure.
