Research indicates that the spider first arrived about 80 miles north of Atlanta, likely in a shipping container from Asia. The Joro is widespread in Japan, China and Korea.

Fire! Kill it with.

Member of the orb weaver family. We have similar ones (up to 6-8") all over Hong Kong. They make massive webs across the trails and you are sure to run into dozens over the course of a hike.

I'm no mapping expert but it looks like it is headed east to me.

Let it bite you.

That looks extremely close to what a golden orb weaver looks like

It looks like a banana spider that likes to talk shite and scare people but it’s really not about any trouble.

In metro Atlanta they were all over the place. 3-4 spiders would put up massive webs that would connect with each other

We've had banana spiders in Alabama for at least a decade.

Will it eat kudzu?

They eat the brown marmorated stink bug, which is an arsehole that not much else eats. So, it ain't all bad.

Welp, there go crawfish prices.
How much meat is in those spiders?
