These spiders have been in northeast Georgia for several years now.
We were told they arrived from Japan in a shipping container.
They are big, build lots of webs, but harmless to humans.

Pellet rifles. I can hit a daddy longlegs at 30 feet. These things would be big game.

I saw spiders that look just like these in Florida, decades ago.

Has Fauci or Bill Gates managed to genetically modify them yet, to make them deadly to humans?
To: Libloather
this isn’t news....been seeing them for about three-four years in GA.

A pest no doubt, but what a marvelous creation of God in that coloration.

I have a Joro right under my porch light.
He’s not 8 inches, and he’s the biggest I’ve seen. More like 2 to 3 inches.
And they are not venomous.

They can’t break human skin, so it’s really only of interest to insects and possibly tiny mamals?
I’m pretty sure none of them can read, so what’s the point of even writing this story?

They aren’t any larger than orb weavers. We were covered up with them last year when they first showed up, dozens all over the house. The freeze got them. Not nearly so many this year. I doubt we’ll see any next year. Had a rather large one in a web outside our breakfast room window last year. She was fascinating to watch. I have no problem as long as they stay in their webs. I had heard they were from Japan and when I saw this headline I thought it was something even more horrifying. The Juro spiders we had were at most 1.25” body, about 1/4” diameter, with a leg span of about three inches. A fat grasshopper was no match for her! You could see the hapless males off to the side in the web. They have no idea.

These spiders will be at home in liberal east coast cities.

Article says venom is as toxic as a bee sting...unless the victim is allergic....but what is the percentage of people allergic? Does the victim get anaphylaxis or just a rash( as with a mosquito)?

A venomous eight-inch-long spider native to Asia, Well it could be worse. It could be from Australia, which always seems to have the most venomous creatures.
