Joro spiders: friend or foe?​

Joro spiders are large, colorful spiders that are now present in several southeastern states, including much of the Upstate of South Carolina. This video discusses what these spiders are, how to identify them, and what their potential impacts may be. There is still much we do not know about Joro spiders, and we can use your help by reporting where you see these creatures.

They are evasive & everywhere here N of Atlanta . I rarely see the Similar sized Garden Spiders ( With the 'Zig Zag ' in their webs ) anymore or even the Fat Bodied Orb Weavers that used to be in almost every window up until 5 -7 years ago . Guess it's Mosquito spraying ? & other Chemicals . I miss Toads & Frogs to that have 95% disappeared from my area . Joro may be very hardy , I'd see them in the woods mostly in say ? 2014-19. Now like I said " Everywhere" .
They even post about them on my 'Firearms ' Chat site .

P.S.
I have never seen them "Fly " . ??
 

I have no Issue with most Spiders.
When I lived in My House.
I had spiders Living with me :laughing7:
of course mostly Long Leggers :tongue3:
and some tiny spiders had webs in a couple corners .
was better the fly paper :laughing7:
They Didn't pay Half the Bills, But they did earn their Keep
only ones I Killed & Removed were The Meaty brown spiders when I saw them. I had No knowledge on which were Poison,
so if I wasn't sure , I'd nuke them:coffee2:

It's the radiation from cell phone towers killing off bugs. Everything that needs bugs for food soon follows suit and leaves or dies. 5G radiation will make global warming look like a picnic. Trillions are made from it being used world wide. Elon Musk is sending up 5G satellites weekly. They are sending back vast amounts of radiation around the world. Of course this is all being downplayed because of the $$$ involved. Money will be worthless when the food chain collapses leading to world wide famine. Google Arthur Firstenbergs research on this. Many serious health problems are associated with cell tower & cell phone radiation too. It's happening slowly so no one is paying much attention. We could reach a tipping point in our lifetime. High price to pay for snap chat, google, and facebook.

Don't Forget Chicken Little :laughing7: The Sky Is Falling :tongue3:

I'm armed with everything from a fly-swatter to a 2x4, and if they are inside my home or within five ft. of a doorway..well, the end is near for them.

Newnan...with respect, unless you are on the tower and standing in front of a transmitting dish, there is no danger to humans from 5G.

Thank you, I will agree to disagree. Radiation is also being sent down from satellites. More launched weekly. I understand my post is controversial, I really don't care. We all can believe what we want.

Yes, you can believe whatever you want. Galileo spent the last nine years of his life under house arrest because the Pope would not accept his scientifically proven finding that the Earth was a planet orbiting a start, and was not the center of the universe.
