3 INCH LONG Spiders that can float on parachutes invade East coast USA
 

The JORO SPIDER
According to experts, the Joro — a 3-inch invasive spider species from Japan — will likely soon blanket the entire east coast of the United States.


Joros were originally spotted in the United States in Georgia, and it is unknown how the species first made its way here; however, most experts guess that it likely
arrived stowed away inside a shipping container. The spider is much larger than the average spider, commonly reaching up to 3 inches in diameter, and can float around
in the air using a parachute made from its webbing material.

Looks like a spider mated with a wasp

Ideal to spread to Cork

Clever Spiders

They're rather handsome and completely harmless to humans.

They’re pretty!

(I like spiders, I have a pet tarantula). :joker:

Who measures a solder by its length..that's just weird.

Thats nice.

How did it get from Japan to Georgia, Japan is in the Pacific, Georgia faces the Atlantic

container ships

No sea or river connecting Georgia with Japan though, unless you go under South America or over the top, which they wouldn’t. It’ll have landed somewhere on the west coast and its spread from there. Otherwise it came in on plane, more likely.

it wont have came in one journey but multiple stops, the climate would have resulted in survival

The spider decided it was going to get off at Georgia

‘Thanks this is my stop see you’

no it got of a multiple stops

it thrived in Georgia

died elsewhere

Someone showed me a pic of a spider at work with legs like that.. it wasn't yellow and stripey

Are you sure it was a spider?

Naughty colleague report them to the boss
