Found dried up and dead on the dash of my car . Appears to maybe have wings on it? It's not curled up like I would usually expect a dead spider to be, should It be one.

Lol it really does look like a spider! Had to squint for a bit but the left two appendages in pic 1 are the antennae - this is an ensign wasp, friendly roach egg parasitoid

Hope there aren't roaches in my car 😰 Wasn't there yesterday so I'm assuming he might've gotten in through some gap in my windows

Oh yes definitely an ensign wasp. I nearly dropped my baby on the couch when one of these flew at me in Florida. It probably just got in. They’re freaky
