Joro Spiders Continue Northward Spread Across the East Coast

Despite their venomous appearance, experts confirm Joro spiders pose no threat to humans or pets.

Joro spiders, native to East Asia, have been spreading in the U.S. since the 2010s, first appearing in Georgia.
These spiders use a 'ballooning' technique, releasing silk threads to travel on wind currents.
Joro spiders are expected to move further north, potentially reaching New York and New Jersey.
The spiders are large and colorful, with females growing up to 4 inches and spinning yellow-gold webs.
Experts advise against killing Joro spiders, as they are harmless and may help control pest populations.
