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.

Don' we pay border security to keep this kind of thing out?

This is what happens when treated pallets aren’t used.

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

There’s a local state park that isn’t well trafficked and a few weeks each year when I’m hiking I have to bring a stick with me just to knock down the webs. Probably a hundred or more in less than eight miles of trails.

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

When I’m out in the pasture at dawn and the sun and dew hit just right, the number of webs you can see is amazing. Must literally be tens of thousands.

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