According to researchers at the University of Georgia, an invasive species of a spider the size of a child's hand is expected to colonize the entire East Coast this Spring by parachuting down from the sky.
Large Joro spiders, millions of them, are expected to begin ballooning up & down the East Coast as early as May.Researchers have determined the spiders can tolerate cold weather, but are harmless to humans as their fangs are too small to break skin.

The thought of kid hand sized spiders with tiny helmets and guns is hilarious.

Just think, you would never know they were in your hair until you felt a tickle and put your hand back there to see what it was. I don't think I would like that.

Murder hornets now that is something to be scared of. Not tiny harmless parachuting spiders.
