Meanwhile… Giant Spiders Headed For NYC | “Wheel” Gets Spicy | “Ghosts” Goes To Germany

[@Cancun771]

Joro spiders are actually very timid, more so than native spiders. They have been observed catching the brown marmorated stink bug, another invasive species that native spiders have not been known to eat, and it has also been hoped that they may consume mosquitoes and flies. Some hope that the impact of the species will be positive due to their harmless nature and consumption of primarily invasive or nuisance insects.

Yes, maybe they'll eat those killer wasps and the spotted lantern flies.... win win?! @Terastas - Going after invasives makes one invasive? lol. That doesn't sound like the worst scenario for an introduced species. I hope this doesn't turn into an Australian Myxomatosis situation...

[@WilliesGarden]

Thanks Cancun771, I just left a comment it's impossible those are just now arriving in NYC. When we've had them here in the South for 2 decades already. And they originally entered the US from some ships docked on the East Coast, likely NYC. The way I find them here is their webs are so thick that it looks like you could literally use them for fishing line!

I was ready to hear a phone call that one of the guys had a run in with some murder mittens and was in the hospital but thankfully they also didn't find it.
