Giant Spiders Weave 6-Foot Webs In Cities: Midwest, Watch Out!
Giant Jorō spiders are spinning 6-foot webs in U.S. cities, and they might be heading to the Midwest next! Here’s what you NEED to know! 🕷️ #SpiderInvasion #JoroSpiders #MidwestWatch
Minneapolis, Minnesota – Giant spiders from east Asia, known as Jorō spiders, are making themselves at home in U.S. cities. These spiders can grow up to 3 inches across and spin webs as big as 6 feet!
They first showed up in the U.S. in 2013 and have been spreading across the East Coast. Unlike other spiders, they don’t mind city life and can handle the cold, so experts say they might keep moving north, even into the Midwest.
Researchers at the University of Georgia found that these spiders are pretty tough. They can live in busy areas with lots of noise and vibrations, which usually mess with spiders’ ability to catch bugs. But Jorō spiders seem to do just fine, even next to roads or under streetlights. They’re also good at surviving cold weather, which could help them spread even further.
The Jorō spider isn’t aggressive, but it’s really good at having lots of babies. This means we might see more and more of them. They’re not dangerous to humans, but they’re definitely hard to miss with their big webs and bright colors.
So, while they’re not a threat, the sight of these massive webs might not be everyone’s cup of tea. It looks like they’re here to stay, so we might need to get used to our new eight-legged neighbors.
