First time I saw one it was terrifying. Learned over time these as super sweet n docile. They are a common first spider pet. I hope your arachniphobia can resolve someday, though I know this comment won't fix it.
These spiders were ALL OVER the base I was on in South Korea back in 2003-04. They were freaking huge and the webs are surprisingly strong. I live in the PNW and I told my wife if they are back east now I'm sure we will have them here in 5-10yrs also... all it takes is 1 to hitch a ride. Im sure they would thrive up here.
@@TheRedsuper1 i was at camp red cloud and there was a field with a fence around the edge of it and the fence had some vine bush all over it and these spiders were all over that fence. They were all over everything that was green.
The thing that freaks me out the most is that they live in groups, so they are all over the place. All around the outside of my house I will see a web with several spiders and a few feet away, I find another web. It just goes on and on until about December or January when the temperatures drop. That's when they hit the road.
They look very similar to several species of garden spiders we have here on the west coast. We used to catch them as kids and let them crawl around on us.
In Colombia we have a large infestation of a small Spider that colonize a lot of trees whit a very gross web. Sudendly the ants that eat leaves start to clean all those trees and the spider go forever.
Why is it that every time you watch a movie or video about spiders, you instantly start fanning your arms, thighs and legs, as that "Something is crawling on me feeling" hits you everywhere.
My bats do a number on the spider population around my house. I see different species of orb weavers here in Southern Mass. They pick them right off the web. Hopefully some predators will help quell this spider population. If not these Joro Spiders will be here to stay forever. And be in competition with the local spiders for food. good news is they eat lots and lots of bugs. Maybe they put a dent in the mosquito and other annoying insect population
I think that's the only way to look at this; find the positive. But this is a big spider. I'm getting freaked out just thinking of it making it's way up the eastern seaboard.
From what I understand, the Joro weaves quite strong webs that can stretch for several yards due to their behavior of congregating. Unwary bats and birds may actually get caught and eaten...
They are all in Woodstock I’ve counted over 55 Joro spiders in my neighborhood. There all over the power lines, trees, Homes. Every time I see a leaf just floating in the air I know that spider is close by it. I don’t feel safe anymore letting my kid place outside in the yard with the amount of those spiders in the yard and all over the place
We had several kinds of garden spiders where I grew up. When we were kids we used to catch them and let them crawl around on us. We got bit once in a while but it really didn't hurt. They are harmless, although it is not fun walking face first into a web.
I went into my forest behind my house in north western SC. and ran into one about every 2 feet and occasionaly a nest of them and have not seen a writing spidder in about 2 years.
We grew up with these big spiders in Louisiana. They have been around for decades. Some of them get really big, but they are harmless. They just look scary.
What you are talking about is the Golden Silk Spider, it is in the same genus and very closely related, but it is a different species. Golden Silk Spiders are native to the US South. These are Jorō Spiders, they are native to Japan and Korea.
The spider has a distinct advantage over the murder hornet ,the spiders webs are strong enough to catch small birds and lizards. The murder hornets are no match for a Joro spider's web. When they get tangled the spider will wrap it up quickly and eat it at it's leisure . The Joro spider's web is strong enough to catch small birds and lizards. Murder hornets will only get tangled.
The Asian emerald ash bore beetle is destroying every large beautiful ash tree across the Midwest. Kudzu (also from Asia) is destroying huge swathes of forest in the south east.
They look like spiders I messed with here in Indiana when I was in grade school in the late 70s. At our school you could go and catch thenm right along corn fields. Same color and size plus the bite isn't that bad no worse than a bee sting.
It's another spider that feeds on honey bees. It's not native here and came due to negligence. Unless these researchers wish to pick them up one by one and bring them back to their home, destroy the spider.
honey bees are not in danger at all. its other bee species you need to worry about in terms of extinction. besides i have not seen anything yet about their primary prey being honey bees, what ive seen is that they eat bugs like stink bugs and mosquitos
I have them in sc now I saw about 8 in my back woods I live near Walterboro sci have seen them in the woods on my fence and one made a web on my porch. The webs are amazingly strong.
Ahh yay my babies!!!! I love orb weavers, especially one's Japanese mythology bases a man eating demon on. They are super cute n docile. Oh I love love love them 💕 ❤ 😍 💖
@@snugglypichu6881 I think it's very human to fear what we do not understand. If they are all icky sticky predatory gory then yes it's fear worthy yet like all living things (except humans as of late) every single one has a wonderful and unique personality

it comes from a class of orb weavers called golden orb weavers thats basically all I call them or Trichonephila clavata its weird seeing them around here as they come from korea !
Right? 😳 And another station said. No worries their fangs are too small to bite. So what..they probably bite like mosquitos! Uh No thanks!! They may be pretty and Gods creatures but but I want some more information 😲
I don't care if it's not venomous, it's going to give me a heart attack.

These spiders are beautiful.
These have been all over Virginia for years!
I found one in my yard and fed it. It ended up laying an eggsack about the size of a golfball
I have never seen one and i lives here my whole life.
U fed it? tf
I've seen em in Virginia for the entire 37 years I've lived here also. They make great pets. I feed them all the time.
Some may confuse this spider with the writing spider aka garden spider

That is an absolutely gorgeous spider!! They will probably eventually make their way up here to pennsylvania.
If they're from east Asia, will they help with the spotted lantern fly? Which I believe is also from east asia...
Oh hell naw my skin is crawling just watching I'm so scared and scared for my parakeets oh lord help us 😱😱😱
I’ve been seeing these for around 20 years in Georgia. I used to work in the woods a lot surveying land. They are nothing new.
these are different they way bigger
Not the Joro. There is the garden and the banana spider, but the Joro is relatively new.

@@snugglypichu6881 Much more deadly in fact i think its a good idea for the spiders to come up north im not dealing with triple e
This spider, unlike most other orb-weavers in Georgia, will actually eat stink bugs.
From what I understand, the Joro weaves quite strong webs that can stretch for several yards due to their behavior of congregating. Unwary bats and birds may actually get caught and eaten...
Those spiders have been in Georgia for Years! i would run into them all the time when I was a kid playing in the woods

They use the web to make a ballon and float through the air using wind. They basically they also fly.
I believe I saw one outside my back door and it scared the heck out of me! It was yellow & black & big. Think I saw one last year too. (I live in NC)
It's just a little bigger garden spider .....it's not like it shelob from Lord of the Rings.

These spiders usually eat mosquitoes too! Makes me want to have one as a pet so it eats all the mosquitoes.
Saw them all over South Korea. Kind of cool looking but they're just harmless spiders, no big deal.
Looks like a banana spider which we have down in Florida
In Texas too
I live in Florida and I ride my pet spider to the alligator clinic where I sell crystal meth and sunglasses 😎
Damnit Asia, why you got so many creepy insects? The Asian tiger mosquito also spread across the US recently. They're vicious where I live in Indiana.
The bite is excruciating.
1:02 the spider caught him in its web ahhhh oh wait it’s the background lol
Theyre so beautiful.
At least they'll protect us from the murder hornets.
Do they have visa?
😂
Looking at the comments -- these are new to the US, though often confused with the garden and the banana spider.

I won't be coming there 🤣
Same in savannah. I've seen them for years tho they aren't new lol

Saw one in Troup County yesterday.

They have venom!!!
