Joro spiders in Gilmer County

[bfriendly]

Cherokee county eat up with them

What these?

I’ve knocked down a dozen or so and am trying to make contact when I do. After hearing they eat stink bugs, I may just move them over. I remember the banana spiders growing up in Florida and these are close but not the same.

The ones I've seen this year seem smaller than the ones from last year at this time. I wonder how much weather plays in their growth cycle.

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

You were correct. Found one on my sc place today. Big purple butted critter that looks like it could haul off a fair-sized housecat, bright yaller web.

I make it a point to kill every single one of them! You could use that yaller web as a guitar string!

I hate those things. I've killed a truckload of them.

I know it's not a good picture but I ran to this guy this morning in Clayton county. Cold weather didn't seem to bother it.

I would have to use .410 #6 shot on every one of those I came across..

Saw my first in Gordon county this afternoon. Their territory is expanding quickly
