Show Notes
The Joro spider, a large, brightly colored species, is rapidly spreading across the US, from Georgia to Pennsylvania. Despite their intimidating appearance and the hype around their flying invasion, these spiders are shy and not aggressive towards humans. Their venom is mild, similar to most spiders. Joro spiders are orb weavers, active from September to October, building big webs and laying eggs. Theyre urban tolerant and could potentially reach as far north as Canada. Researchers emphasize theres no real threat to people, so its best to leave them be and let them control pests.
