Joro-Gan spiders.

They come to my yard and they are dead

No respirator?

I have a lady Joro spider in my upper window to my bedroom. I thought it was the garden spider that makes the zigzag base... yellow and black.... but it is not. I have seen her abdomen grow and get brighter colors. She also seems to have a little spider that hangs out with her. Today I notice her feeding and the other little spider came down and got close about the time she had finished. While she was feeding still he came down and stroked her abdomen very gently and then it looked like he made a single thread attached to her abdomen and strummed it like a guitar string a couple of times and backed away. It was like he was saying.... I am here ready for the crumbs when your finished. Does anyone know about this.? I am in the Atlanta, Ga. area. I took a picture to send to you... but not sure how to send it to iNaturalist.org...

I am from Boston. One spider was just spotted 3 neighborhoods away. I am absolutely freaking out and not dealing with it well.

How far north can you develop the quail population??

I live in the Atlanta suburbs, and we have lots of Joros here. While I'm not typically a fan of invasive species, these things are very interesting.

No joro spider yet in southern Québec. However, we can definitely see a difference as far as the warming of the climate is concerned. It is just a question of a few decade until they'd creep up here.

Hahaaa! 😁 It's not a clickbait picture... I see what you did there 😅, I'll allow it! Thanks for the info👍🏾. I dont hate spiders, i just needed to know if the "bird eating" rumors were true, smh. Thanks again.

Just let it do its thing. It will help the local ecology in the long run. Ecosystems that haven't been totally altered by humans aren't infested with it anyway. Just leave it.

First Covid now spiders? Great lol

I live outside Atlanta and the summer of 2020 they were on every inch of every power line. It’s never been quite that bad since and I hope it stays that way

They just showed up in Massachusetts recently. In the city of all places

Dang 6 feet of web 🕸 wow

Help. If you make a second treatment a few weeks or months later, do you squirt in the same cuts, or do you make new cuts (maybe below the first cuts?)?

we have them here in mass now!,thanks for the video!,how do you only have 600 + subs????

The yellow web give us a rash if they barely touch the skin!

I live In Mass and hell no.

I live in Georgia and both at my house, in and around my garden, and especially at my workplace which is an outdoor paintball and airsoft facility, these joro spiders and thier webs are absolutely everywhere. It's their webs that really annoy the piss out of me because I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally walked my face into them it had to pull their web out of my hair and eyebrows and everything else LOL. And recently(1 month ago) at my workplace, I seen the biggest walking stick I have ever seen in my life by far walking up the front of the shop where I work and I thought it was so cool, and a couple hours later I went to look for it, and sadly found it all contorted in one of these joro spider webs in the middle of getting eaten by one of these joro spiders. My coworkers kill these things and encourage our customers to kill them on the spot but I won't do that since I just don't kill anything so I try to take their webs down with a broom and move the spiders out of sight so my co-workers and customers can't hurt them. My coworkers think it's funny that I'm such a softy but I don't care, these things are living creatures just like us, and I don't think it's fair or right to hurt them just because they're an eyesore to see all over the place, but that's just me LOL

In GA there's about 100 a mile they're everywhere lol

I don't want nasty sticky spider web all over my broom

2:06 lmao

I live in Ohio I found one of these while geo catching about 6 years ago and it let me get really really close I got some amazing pictures of it

I have a few in my property in Georgia

Aren't they poisonous?

I wish you guys didn't have place names the same as ours....I saw these were in Bucks County then I panic and think it's Buckinghamshire...up the road. Lol I'm in England. Great video.

When they are every 3ft along the fence line where the hell would you move it?

Here in georgia. I let them do their thing for a month or 2 but yesterday had to clear their webs. They took over my deck and my pergola was now spider city😂 felt bad knocking them down

I have two in my yard one has 4 dead spiders in it's web so I'm leaving it to get rid of other spiders

Live in Tennessee, but been working in North GA.. On one property have seen more grown ones,young ones,and also the floating babies in nests..Place is infested with them...

I'm loaded with them in simpsonville, sc

There is little or no information about the real size.of this spiders, I have seen all kind of videos in here showing them that are smaller than a hand, why are they saying is the size of a hand???? I'm waiting to see one near a hand to finally see if, indeed.is true ,Otherwise, I'm skeptical about the size.👎

They in the bahamas, i only see them in the summertime

Guessing Glycophosphate 20% or more.

The vine that ate the world. If they ever made this story into a video game...

A comment and a question-bobwhites have disappeared from southern Wv-I’m specific because the area has not changed since my childhood 50+ yrs ago-coyotes were released in the area, thank you DNR and had always believed they were the single source of decimation, I still believe that-my question is this, what can I do to reintroduce the bird to the area and give them the best chance of thriving?

The surefire way to identify kudzu is if it completely overwhelms everything it is,I live in North Al and it is monstrous,I heard years ago that the roots can live for years

I have a species that is variegated and doesn’t seem to be spreading. Do you know what species that may be and if it is invasive? I would like to remove it if it is. I am in South Texas

what happened to the method of injecting Helium directly into the soil????. that method only kill Kudzu and not the native plants unlike Herbicide right. is Helium more expensive than Herbicide????? 🤔🤔

You know this is medicine. If mimics estrogen in the body and helps women through menopause. This is a powerful medicine and it is called invasive because it is medicine. Anything called invasive is medicine, that's why they want you to get rid of it

Fun Fact: This spider also shares the same name of the Japanese mythological creature known as the Jorogumo

So what's the chemical??????

What mask do you think would be the best for being around fertilizer? I work in lawn care and they don't give us anything.

Geeze, listening to the news you'd think we're being attacked by highly venomous, flying spiders, that'll land on your head and bite you.

I have 3 baby ones in my strawberry patch. They don't bother me and any spider is welcome in my gardens.

My gf told me about these possibly coming to my area. I heard they aren’t harmful to anything so I’m not worried

Idk about yall but i have been dreading on when theor going to be in nyc, im terrified of any and every spider, even house spiders. Pretty soon im going to have a pleasent suprise😡😱😨

Im so sacrd or spitrs

Thank you! Very helpful

That's what I do in the greenhouse I have spiders which look similar to the Joro but much smaller that spins web nightly across my aisles that I need to walk down 😲. They're typically in the middle or mostly I break their web and I sweep them aside.😁. What is creepy for me if I have web on my legs especially when I'm wearing shorts. But the spider rarely is ever on my being and if it is it's trying to scurry faster than I'm scared
