According to pest experts, giant venomous flying Joro spiders with 4-inch legs, originally from Japan, are making their way to the Northeastern U.S. after appearing in the Southeast. Using a ballooning technique to fly, they are expected to expand further across the country. Joro spiders, known for their vibrant yellow and black appearance, are predatory and may disrupt local ecosystems. While their venom is not usually lethal to humans, it can cause discomfort. There is limited knowledge on how to eradicate them, emphasizing the need for coexistence and responsible management with local pest control services being the primary option for removal.
