From Jane Thomas

I’ve never had spiders in my computer, but I have had carpet beetle larvae in
my video player. In this undisturbed habitat they found a good supply of fluff
to eat, and even the odd video to watch—even if they died in the
attempt.

I never did manage to evict them, and got so fed up with ruined tapes and
cleaning the sticky mess off the video heads that I had to buy a new
machine.
