It’s a bird…..no it’s a plane….no it’s the Joro spider……

Joro spiders are making there way up the east coast as we speak….they kinda fly….but in actually they spin a web and the air flow floats them around…..

East Coast braces for surge of invasive flying spiders

The cicadas have already taken over parts of the U.S., and they may soon have some eight-legged company. Giant flying "Joro" spiders are expected to swing into the East Coast later this summer. David Coyle, assistant professor of forest health and invasive species at Clemson University, joins...

All the bad stuff comes from the far east. Stink bugs, lantern flies, joro spiders, snakeheads, and whole bunch more. Not to mention all the plant species that have take root () here.

I am in a constant battle with Cogongrass and Japanese Climbing Fern.

Little butter, onion, and Thai chili to offset the crunch .

Tell all the Cajuns they taste good.
They’ll be gone

Boy, this is what happens when we don't pay attention to what's being shipped over here especially in the holds of ships. Once anything gets here they seem to flourish.

well, let's thank open borders, and freebies.....like anything else, if it's freely given away by the "i wanna buy your vote" crowd, someone will take it.

Oh yes we have kudzu, fire ants, pythons, liberals, and all manner of undesirable invasive vermin here.

It's really not all that funny when you think about it ... our legal world wide travels and shipping along with the intentional illegal transport of non-natives for profit are always going to be a threat to our country when a non-native species arrives here. Think Pythons in the Everglades, feral pigs almost everywhere across the country now, Killer Bees and Murder Hornets, and now Jaro spiders. And it's not limited to just animals and insects, but non-native vegetation. And no matter how hard we try, we'll never prevent all of them. Once they get here, not only do they typically not have any natural predators, but the climate and other resources needed by the invasive species are all here for them in quantity.

Which ones? Ocean shark, or land shark?

The land ones will sneak up on you from behind

I tried to get my chickens to eat Joro spiders a few years ago, they spit out every single one... I don't know of any creature that will consume a Joro.

You're right it's not funny. What also is not funny is the constant drum beat of be fearful. Covid, N1H1, swine flu, bird flu, new ice age, global warming, climate change, super volcanos, giant asteroids, ...
