First came the spotted lanternflies, then the cicadas — and now, the spiders? The Northeast U.S. is bracing for an invasion of giant venomous spiders with 4-inch-long legs that can parachute through the air.

CLICKBAIT!

“Experts have warned that the spiders could spread to New York since 2022, but none have been detected – yet.”

[dpetty121263]

That is the best idea yet!

[Beowulf]

Murder Hornets will own them.

“Looks like a common Banana Spider.”

Then they should feel right at home since New York is now one of the United States of Bananas.

[Georgia Girl 2]

We already have them all over N GA.

one more invasion, what will be the next one

[lee martell]

I don’t want one of those dropping from the ceiling and falling down the back of my shirt collar, then frantically fighting to get out.

[central_va]

[MeganC]

I agree with and proudly endorse your reasoned response!

[BreezyDog]

SeeBS wants me to disable my ad blocker Ghostery...not happening.

[LegendHasIt]

Finally! A little good news!

[gitmo]

First came the spotted lanternflies, then the cicadas — and now, the spiders?

God will sometimes send various plagues at man when he sees them falling into irrational sin.

Not to worry North East, only 5 or 6 more plagues to go. I'm waiting for Sharknato.

Go Spiders!

Let’s not all get too excited here. Lizards eat spiders. So all New York has to do is import many giant lizards.]

[Lisa: But isn’t that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we’re overrun by lizards?
Skinner: No problem. We simply unleash wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They’ll wipe out the lizards.
Lisa: But aren’t the snakes even worse?
Skinner: Yes, but we’re prepared for that. We’ve lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.
Lisa: But then we’re stuck with gorillas!
Skinner: No, that’s the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.]

[voicereason]

Snakes...no problem. Scorpions...meh!

But ticks and spiders...break out the flamethrower!!!

[bigfootbob]

Awesome. They deserve each other!

[bigfootbob]

Well damn!
