Joro spiders in Gilmer County

[Russdaddy]

Was just talking about these the other day, wondering when they would show up here. Hate to see them, but their golden webs are pretty cool. Walking into one those in the dark will be fun!

They no bother, just sticky.

Strangely enough, the orb weavers haven`t showed up here yet.

I keep hearing about these spiders. Are they what we call banana spiders in the south or is it a different kind?

One got me about 3 weeks ago.
Still ain't healed all the way.

Different i believe. These spin golden webs. Little bigger. Invasive species

I walked into a spider web many moons ago and had web on my glasses all day. I started breaking off a small branch when walking to take down webs.

 

[Raylander]

Those webs are extra sticky. Zero fun..

Can't go 10 yards without running into one around here

The Joro's killed all the other variety of spiders in my woods. Not cool.

Stephens and the south end of Habersham are covered, to the point of it being almost comical. I was walking into a restaurant yesterday and one landed on my shirt from out of nowhere. Just fell out of the sky. Too big to have been doing that trick they do where they spin a web out to catch the wind.

Interestingly, I didn't see any up in Rabun and Towns this weekend, stomping all over the old Coleman River WMA area and up into the Southern Nantahala.

Ran into some in Wilkes this weekend. if only my wife had been on the wheeler with me.

The more I hear about these things, the more I'm sure that I'm going to stick to fishing in a boat from now on. lol

Saw two this morning in Murray County on the lake. They’re rapidly expanding

 

[gacowboy]

Franklin county is covered up with them.

 

[NCHillbilly]

Haven't seen any here or on my place in SC.

or on my place in SC.

Give it time. They showed up on my place this year and I'm just on the other side of Clarks Hill from ya.
