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.

Here is my reasoned response: Waaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuggggggggghhhhhhh!

More foreign fauna coming to the US ..

[Billthedrill]

I don't see the problem here.

It’s like they are coming to worship at the feet of the Governess leader.

[Ozymandias Ghost]

The vast majority of spiders are “venomous” (Except for the Uloboridae)

FFS... they leave the key point to the last paragraph: these are NOT poisonous to humans or pets.

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

Poisonous or not, I don’t want to encounter any of them while I’m in my yard!

Looks like a common Banana Spider.

We have millions of them in Florida.

Totally harmless.................

[Organic Panic]

I’m more worried about the invading illegal alien gangsters.

Why don't we have those camel spiders from the Arabian desert yet?

Supposedly they are very quick and they can nibble your ears and nose off at night while you sleep since they inject you with a nerve deadener before dining.
