Gen5 Spider in my headlight!?!?!

After looking at my right headlight today i noticed something a bit odd. I found a dead spider and some webs that it sprung inside the headlight assembly. The spider is near the blinker with some webs around it and then another little web is near the high beam. Its really not noticable but now that i know its there it bugs the living hell outta me. Anyone have any ideas on how i can get it out without having to open the headlight assembly?

Maybe take out the bulb, and shop vac him out? Find a flexible hose small enough to get in the light, and suck him up.

^ you sort of have to push it towards the windshield while lifting upwards. Very strange design, fiddle around with it and the cover will come off. Had to do this to replace my rear speakers.

in my old set of tail lights i had a spider, i just left it because if my cam ever got stolen I had another way of identifying it. Spider-cam away!
