they are not dangerous, to my consideration

ah, you might have a mildei yourself

C. mildei is an introduced species that can be found ALL over the globe :)

i saw one in my vanpool van today, by rather strange synchronicity

i reckon it definitely could be mildei

maybe a local that knows specific area you are from and distribution could answer with more surety.
