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.
8 feet = 2,438 meter
I'm pretty sure 8ft is less than 2.4km
