In case you missed it the northeast is going to be invaded by ballooning Joro spiders this spring. They have been working their way up the east coast for several years and temperature is not an issue for them.
So, airborne arachnids that are three inches across (that includes the legs) will be landing on whatever, including you.
I can handle snakes, bugs, wild critters, coyotes, bears, Moose, rankled Lefties (jackasses), the apocalypse, but the thought of spiders randomly landing on me from above gives me the willies.
This will help!
Ahhh!
The featured image up top – the actual spider, comes care of someplace called Arrow Exterminators. They’ve been dealing with these things down south so I’ll give them a nice link because I’m also about to quote their webpage.
The East Asian native spider, also known as the Joro spider, is a new invasive species of Golden orb-web spiders that was first found in North Georgia in 2014. Since then, these creepy crawlers have taken over northern Georgia and western South Carolina by storm and are spreading rapidly. …
The issue you might find is that since they multiply in such great quantity, they have become a nuisance for most individuals. Their golden-yellow, basket-shaped webs can be quite large. The spider itself is also quite large, so it can be intimidating and scary. …
The Joro spider can bite humans and pets, but as is with all orb-weavers, it has small mouth parts and is not aggressive. Because of their small mouth parts, the Joro has been deemed as harmless and typically not a safety concern. If someone were to be bit, it would be comparable to a bee sting.
So, the scariest thing about them is that one might balloon onto you at random. That’s freaky enough for me, but if they leave me alone I’ll return the favor.
And the large orb-weaver webs will trap a lot of mosquitos and other insects I can without, and that’s fine by me.
And I’m sure they’d also eat giant Asian ‘Murder” hornets if those were headed our way (currently attacking Liberals as part of Antifa on the left coast).
The murder hornets dropped off the radar along with the Venomous hair caterpillars, overwhelmed by the COVID Cult-obsessed news cycle.
Honestly, those things are all better than a President Joe Biden who has proven to be one the most destructive parasites in my lifetime.
Maybe we’ll get a chance to watch a Joro spider land on Biden. That could be entertaining. What’s the Secret Service supposed to do then? Round up some Oath Keepers or charge Trump supporters with Insurrection?
