Venomous flying spiders with 4-inch legs spread across East Coast

First came the spotted lanternflies, then the cicadas — and now, the spiders? The Northeast U.S. is bracing for an invasion of giant venomous spiders with 4-inch-long legs that can parachute through the air.

  1. Apparently only the matured female gets that large. And their flying days are long gone before reaching that size.

    Maybe the murder hornets with bird flu have a taste for the venomous flying spiders.

  2. Maybe they can infest the northeast coast and eliminate all those POS liberals there. 🖕

  4. These are from Wuhan....Mr. Fauci tried these on the joggers in Atlanta before sending them FedEx up the east coast, hence the moniker "flying spiders."

  5. We have them around our golf course on the edge of the woods. The main strand of their web can be up to 25 or 30 feet long and is tough to break.

    I also have seen them around my house. I think they might have some innate kind of intelligence because when I come out of the house the first time and walk into their web, after destroying it, their new web leaves a walk through for me.

    1. Great. Flying, huge and now intelligent? I need a bunker.

  6. Cajuns just wanna know how you cook them and what hot sauce to put on 'em.

  7. I would be absolutely thrilled if these things would make it down to AZ. They are huge and brightly colored (easy to spot), not harmful to humans (yeah, they are venomous but it doesn't affect mammals.), and eat a *ton* of bugs, without really doing any damage to the local environment. Also their webs are amazing.

    I would much rather have these than black widows or sneaky ass scorpions, at least these eat skeeters.
