I hope this doesn’t invade Clarksville or Hopkinsville!!!!

An invasive spider species is spreading. A study from Clemson University says Joro spiders are spreading beyond South Carolina and are expected to spread through most of the eastern U.S. and eventually the country. The spiders are large, brightly colored yellow and black and use their webs to travel in the wind. They’re venomous, but researchers say they don’t bite humans or pets unless they are cornered.
