If they're that harmless then I'm kind of hoping I find some if they are in fact here. They look pretty interesting.

Looks like they'd make for some cool photos.



They won't break your skin but you'll still feel the bite.


> To humans, the Joro Spider isn’t particularly dangerous. A bite won’t kill you. It’ll hurt, though. A lot. Imagine a bee sting. It’ll hurt where you were bitten with a blister. Within a day, you’ll be fine.

All fun and games til they crawl into bed with you at night then.


I mean that's pretty harmless if they're as non-aggressive as it suggest they are.


They are beautiful, but they don't come one at a time. They make their thick webs _everywhere_ and in big groups. You can't escape them during spider season.


> Spider season

Nope, not a season I will formally acknowledge.

I'll take second and third winter, please.
