My first thought was ‘I could have used a box like this when I was a teenager hanging out at the arcades’.

I like the colors!
Very similar to what redback spiders do here.Instead of spinning webs to catch prey, brown widows make shelters for themselves and their egg cases (the bumpy whitish roundish things). They especially like partially covered places, such as under the handle of a water bucket (shown below) or just under edges of things in general. Be careful where you put your fingers! At night, the brown widows come out to hunt.
We routinely clean out brown widow shelters, but I had gone way to long without taking care of this one.
If you believe the Internet, brown widows are about twice as venomous as black widows, but less aggressive (black widows are not very aggressive). This brown widow (towards the bottom left) is not aggressive at all on account of being dead.

Cutting up boxes. 1 of them was for new car seat covers for my daughter's car, she put on yesterday but first she wanted to clean her so I got the vacum out for and set her up. 10 minutes later "Dad it's not working right" guess who had to do it all
