Venomous flying Joro spiders with 4-inch legs spread across East Coast!


CBS
(Yahoo): Venomous flying spiders with 4-inch legs spread across East Coast.

The arachnids are native to Asia, but were introduced to north Georgia around 2010[.]

People have reported seeing Joro spiders across much of the eastern U.S., including in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Kentucky Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and Ohio. New York happens to be "right in the middle of where they like to be," University of Georgia researcher Andy Davis told The New York Times in December. He believes the spiders could pop up across New York and neighboring states this summer – aka any day now.

"They seem to be OK with living in a city," (🤣 🤣 🤣) Davis [said]

Hey, these spiders are here to do the jobs indigenous spiders won't do.

They're already receiving free housing, $5,000/month government-issued debit cards and free cell phones. 

We. Were. Promised. MURDER HORNETS!!!

A spider is causing traffic issues on a Minnesota Highway.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation posted on Twitter, a driver with a fear of spiders saw one when she was driving and pulled over to the shoulder in the northbound lane of Highway 280, prior to Highway 36 northeast of Minneapolis.

A first responder was on the scene assisting—perhaps helping remove the spider from the car.

My brain is done for the day; couldn't think of any spider jokes. Ah, what would we do without the web? A slew of Spider Jokes:
A man in a movie theater notices what looks like a spider sitting next to him.
"Are you a spider?" asked the man, surprised.
"Yes."
"What are you doing at the movies?"
The spider replied, "Well, I liked the book."
Got a punchline, leave a comment.
