The Joro spider may be headed to NYC. Here's how New Yorkers are reacting.

The Joro spider is migrating north, and New York City could be the next stop on their tour. CBS New York's Steve Overmyer finds out how that sits with New Yorkers.

Yep definitely have a arachnidphobia now

[@Seminole87]

How did that last guy do the math in his head so fast? Some people are just naturally talented i guess.

[@lindahope981]

Are they here legally??😮

[@CJ-kn1cj]

😂😂😂😂

[@orangecat5036]

Why couldn't we get invaded by something nice like plam tree's.

[@nymeria7239]

Then we would have constant heat to maintain those trees, and then instead of hearing "Florida man" on the news, you'd have "New York man" doing unbelievable things!

[@orangecat5036]

🤣

[@vkobevk]

spider adapt themselves better to cold than palm tree

[@kimberlyfamoly5863]

They eat other insects, leave them alone and they will leave you alone.

[@newenglandsun4394]

CBS is doing sensationalism by emphasizing the venomous part. All spiders are venomous. But Joro spider venom is harmless to humans except to those who are allergic.

How could you disrespect pigeons like that when seagulls are a thing

[@erycalexander7315]

Seagulls are certainly more annoying and aggressive, but pigeons are just nasty. Walk under any overpass in New York and look how filthy it is. Just caked and smothered in bird feces everywhere 😮

[@Ainar86]

I also live in a city where both exist and while seagulls may be the stray cats among birds, pigeons definitely are the flying rats.

[@ricoguapo7408]

@@erycalexander7315is a pigeon really more dirty than your average bird tho?

[@whatintheheck4692]

The seagulls would be eating the Joro spiders for y’all.

[@erycalexander7315]

@@ricoguapo7408 There’s two bushes full of little starlings by my window and they leave no trace of living there! No poop on my ledge or anywhere near where we live, meanwhile rock doves poop wherever they nest, under awnings of store fronts and overpasses and create a visible sludge that accumulates if not cleared regularly.

That cutout he's holding up is a straight up lie. lol

[@blueblazethetransformer3512]

I beg to differ. I've seen one up close. and by close, i mean i had one as a pet. It's a pretty accurate size, bro.
