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

I love spiders , work in a greenhouse. Have been using biologicals for over 10 years .What is interesting to me My spider population diversified! I really don't believe we have to worry about joro being harmful to our native population but you still can't be too sure but I think their benefit

What Herbicide, and do you keep it concentrated or, mix with H2O, or Diesel, and at what rate??

come eat all the bugs in my yard

I've seen them when my daughter lived in Georgia. They are huge.

I don't think that these spiders can travel miles away just using their webs to parachute in NY. There has to be some human intervention in the introduction of these species in North America. How will these species affect the ecosystem in the US??

I’m here in Japan and they are everywhere.

How are these people letting those horrific things crawl on them. I can’t get rid of the chills now!

Big spider fan. Don't kill em, save em for me haha

Spider>wasps I absolutely cannot stand wasps.

I wish i wasn't afraid of them 😕

Move it???!!!! 😂 im sorry, but i would be getting bug spray. Aint no way i could get close enough to move it. I hope i dont ever see one to close to my house.

I would usually call spiders the children of Satan just because of how unsettling i find there appearance even if there not malicious i admit i like them for different reasons but once im that close to a big one i just completely change mentally i may just be spiderphobic i dont even know at this point

Southern Ontario Canada, WE HAVE EM!!!! Its a miracle!!!! It all makes sense, we are growing more food plants for the first time in a century the past couple decades has been a surge in gardening and permiculture so the insects that eat those plants will follow, and now with more sophisticated predator roles who's size is in relation to available food, ours are not the size of your hand YET but our large fruit trees are not big yet I imagine if they are big and attract the Spotted Lantern Fly which i have not seen yet it will get larger. I also expect more types of birds and more dragon flies. We have a jumping spider here already which has gotten bigger off of white flies and aphids from perennial food crops returning every year, the White Tiger spiders are three times their size of the past and not changing. It really makes sense that another jumping spider role come into the garden as the number of bugs eating crops is highly diverse. I imagine lace wings will be high this year to, its always good to see lacewings.

Very cool!

This was helpful and informative. Thank you for sharing

In Oregon, we haven't spotted any, but I guess we are due to expect them soon. I don't think they will have any real negative impact on the local environment or local spider species... They consume other invasive that we don't currently have an answer for, so they may in fact be that answer... let's just hope they don't end up being our Cane Toad

If they eat lantern flies, roaches, stink bugs, gnats, ticks, and mosquitos, it's all good!

Read Genesis...The part where Cane asks God for protection for his offspring and how God replied. 'nuff said? "cheers!"

Please don't tell me they don't bite. Don't insult my intelligence. ALL spiders bite! It's their "only" defense mechanism. 'nuff said? "cheers!"

A bit similar to the writing spider whose web stretches across my garden shed window. She's a beauty!

The joro spiders are supposedly heading up to NY. Can’t wait to see them parachuting around, eating other bugs like wasps, and scaring people.

Seems like they -and their huge, in-your-face webs could trap and kill our little hummers and other small birds.

this guy obviously hasn't seen the movie Arachnophobia.

*The most deadly, VENEMOUS spiders of all: MSM news COMMENTATORS (THERE ARE NO MORE REPORTERS, ONLY COMMENTATORS) AND POLITICIANS.*

I'm in Georgia Acworth North Georgia and I came across a joro spider's web that has five females in it sharing the same web the craziest thing I've ever seen did not know that they share the same way I should have took a picture to back up my claim but I have no reason to lie it's crazy

If its invasive , its gotta go !

“Writing” spiders

😅😂launch the hellfire missiles

I think he meant a can of insect killer instead of a broom. Noted.

0:21 Quick!!! Someone call Kendrick Lamar and let him know I got a interlude for his next song!

Bro tell me how this is taking over the world right now

I wish I was not afraid of spiders enough to do this. I hate them.

Is it posones

I for one welcome our new spider overlords.

Thank you for this scientific fact-driven piece. Some right wingers will no doubt come up with a conspiracy theory about this. 😆

Nahhh it killed a wasp and me and the wasps go back a long ways. I’m glad my spider-homie was looking out

Imma beat the hell out that spider

Just say they came from CHINA. We know.

Dangerous to humans or not, just stay as far away from the West coast as possible ;-)
