Giant venomous spiders have infiltrated the southeastern U.S. and are expected to spread rapidly, but experts say not to worry. Okkkkkk…
Jorō spiders, or Trichonephila clavata, can grow up to 4 inches (10 centimeters) in length — about the size of the palm of your hand or larger.
With spindly legs and a black, yellow and gray-striped abdomen, the spiders are native to southeastern Asia, but already spread nearly a decade ago to the southeastern United States. Now they could spread into the northeastern United States and beyond.
Jorō spiders are venomous, meaning they can poison certain creatures like insects for a meal, however, the spider’s fangs are virtually incapable of breaking human skin. The only time they will bite a human or household pet is when they are actively being constrained.
