Joro Spider

Joro Spiders, also known as East Asian Joro spiders, are invasive orb weaver spiders in the genus Trichonephila. These spiders are native to a number of East Asian nations, including China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and South Korea, yet you can also locate them in South Carolina and Georgia.

Male Joro spiders are 7 to 10 millimeters long, while females are between 17 and 25 millimeters long. They feature a red spot close to the back of their abdomens, along with yellow and dark blue stripes. Joro spiders produce far stronger silk than the majority of other spiders do. Their webs also differ from the webs of other orb weavers in appearance, with an uneven layer behind and in front of the central orb. They rarely show aggression toward people, yet their bite is still fairly severe.
