Exclamation 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.

They're rather handsome and completely harmless to humans.

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.
