You're never more than eight feet away from a spider.

Did you know that arachnids' legs are hydraulicly controlled? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnid_locomotion

I wonder if this fact was any part of the inspiration for the Spidertron.

I'm pretty sure 8ft is less than 2.4km

What about if you're on an aircraft or boat? If there are no spiders aboard, you'd be more than 8 feet away.

My partner owns a boat. It has more spiders than any place I've ever been.
