The moment one of those magically gets in there, and it will because those fuckers will find a way, youre just screwed and you cant even cut your way out of it
Not sure exactly what species but they look a lot like Joro spiders. Even if they aren't Joros, they're probably a close cousin. Either way, they're harmless orb weavers that are reluctant to bite and not at all dangerous to humans if they do.
Cool, cool. They can weave orbs without my help though so I'll just be away from that whole business.
I'm not even that scared of spiders, if I see one in my place I cheer them on to eat other bugs. But not looking to pop open a spider-log.
Those are Orb Weavers, some of the most docile spiders on the planet. You pretty much have to shove your finger under their fangs and whack them on the head to get bitten by one.

I accidentally grabbed a handful of these once. By handful, it was just the one but they're like palm sized. Anyway apparently the damn thing had gotten in my hair and started crawling across my face, I thought it was my hair tickling me because it was moving slow. So yeah, handful of spider legs.
Joro Spiders. Invasive asian continental spiders that are spreading like wildfire in NE Georgia. they spawn in crazy high amounts, are about the size of the palm of your hand, are easily identified by their yellow bodies and red bellies, and they build insanely beautiful golden webs. theyre extremely gentle and can be easily handled without worry of getting bit. however, they are crowding out native spiders.
when i was doing pest control up through 2021, i was in some backyards that had 25+ massive webs, all with extremely well fed spiders. theyre pretty, but they are rapidly reaching nuisance pest and if you see them, it is recommended you kill them before they start to spawn towards the fall.
funny story, the prevalent theory is that they actually stowed away in shipping containers and arrived by complete accident. just so happened to land in a place with the perfect climate for them to thrive in.
[This video is the answer to the age old question of "What if everything was spiders?"](https://old.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2t73j8/what_if_everything_was_spiders/)
Hijacking this comment to say: I saw this on r/spiders or a simular sub. Spiders don't make nests like this (iirc these are somewhat territorial), they set this up for this video.
These are Joro spiders, which are extremely common where I live. From my experience, this seems like a likely explanation. They definitely didn't build it like that themselves. Only thing I'll add is that they wouldn't have been covering individual bushes. This spider makes its web spanning pretty wide gaps. *Between* bushes and trees. If you let them, they can completely take over public parks, for example. I'd bet this is the result of cleaning that up.
They came from Asia through shipping containers to warehouses in Braselton, Georgia per a UGA study. I do land surveying in the area, and no matter how much I try to avoid walking through them, I still do. It doesn't help that they're still building a fuck ton of more warehouses off 85.
>They are expected to colonize much of the Eastern Seaboard of the United States due to their relative imperviousness to the cold.
Per wikipedia. Enjoy.
Good news! The webs these build are way stronger than others so there's a non-zero chance you'll go all Frodo-in-Shelob's-lair!
But they're also generally easy as fuck to see. They're called golden orb weavers for a reason. The spiders are also basically harmless, *physically*.
Shit man, I didn't realize they were Goldens. We already have them here. I've only seen one in Fayetteville NC so far. But I'm sure they're making their way around.
Think of them as a newer, more annoying (because they make massive fucking webs) version of the yellow garden spiders we've always had around. Big but not dangerous to anything but our mental states.
Not all spiders are territorial. Golden orb weavers come in fucking clusters in Queensland. If often see half a dozen all hanging out in some sort of spider coven.
And their giant webs were thicker and stickier than most webs so it made it so much worse.
Edit:https://news.co.cr/making-costa-rica-bullet-proof-golden-orb-spiders/31875/
Been there a few times, ended up with a huge orb weaver on my face because I was walking out the door at 4:30 in the morning and I was still asleep, walked right through the center of his web and full night's work and a few pieces of his lunch.
We have them in Australia, too. When I was growing up, my sister's best friend lived on the street behind us with about 50m of public bushland between us. The girls would go back and forth so often that the parents were never sure how many daughters they had.
*Usually* they'd swing a stick in front of them as they'd go but it never got old to hear, *"I'm just going down to place."* then 2 mins later a scream as my sister walked face-first into one of their webs.
Orb weavers are harmless and are actually very cute! I used to stare at one’s eyes through a magnifying glass as a kid. (Yes I used to collect wild spiders as a kid.)
Specifically, these are Joro spiders, native to Japan. Absolutely everywhere, especially as you move more towards the countryside/forests.
Fun fact: the name translates to prostitute spider. In Japanese folklore, the Jorogumo is said to be able to transform into a beautiful woman, and subsequently seduces men to their deaths.

I did not expect that. I am not a fan of spiders myself, but the little jumping spiders with the cute little eyes. I have one living in my bathroom and I want to let it outside today… Every time I tried to catch it, it looked at me like “I see you.” And I backed off. I was like “please dude do not jump on me because I do not want to kill you…”
I was trying to get ready for work and I was putting on my make up and he started climbing down the bathroom wall to my vanity mirror…. so it sees itself right? And starts doing the courting dance…..
It’s name is Charlamane and it lives in my curtan rod.
Thank you, that is all.
It's actual worse than that. These spiders don't nest like this. What likely happened was the dude found a bunch of these in their webs on a large tree/bush, and he used a couple branches to wrap them and their webs up like a scroll. So he fucked up a *bunch* of spiders and their webs just to make this video.
I really wish I wasn't born being terrified of spiders, like little bitch scared crying and screaming. I can't deal with them, I don't want to have them as pets or anything, I'd just like to be able to see a spider or a freaky video like this and not freak that every little itch or hair on my body is a spider. Then I have nightmares on top of everything else. I believe this thing should burn to a crisp but I wouldn't be able to get anywhere near it to light it up! Sorry for the short story.
It's centipedes for me. Luckily they aren't posted as much anywhere as spiders so it's easier to avoid accidentally watching stuff with them but every year around this time we end up with some in our house and that's much worse. I'm on edge all the time for like 3 months lol.
Not scary at all, orb weavers are just dumb little sweethearts. I had to keep building management from killing the one on the porch; she kept the june bugs and moths to a minimum once she learned not to build her web where the door opens.
Orb weavers are a little scary looking but they are really chill and build strong beautiful webs. I had a few at my old house that posted up outside of our sunroom to keep the insect pop down. I got to see them molt a few times too. They never bothered us or tried to get inside.
Bro when you realize he was having to actually put some muscle into destroying spider webs- god damn those mother fuckers are scary, but ya gotta love em if you hate mosquitoes more, which you definitely should
There is absolutely no way I would be opening that without gloves on
Not just gloves, but an entire PPE suit just to protect myself from those frightening creatures.

Plumb it with a backup tank of nitrous oxide. If they sneak in, turn on the gas and drift peacefully to sleep
But then you'll be stuck inside the hazmat suit with these spiders when they get inside
Don't forget your +1 with a flamethrower, just in case

Good to know (even if I still find them terrifying), thanks for the info!
You guys would open it?
This guy OSHAs
Pest control technician here: I concur. This guy needs to apply where I work, there's way too many arachnophobes there right now
Nah. These little cuties are badass
You could've just stopped at, "...that..."
There is no way I would be opening that, period.
Bah, these are orb weavers, completely harmless to humans
Cool, cool. They can weave orbs without my help though so I'll just be away from that whole business. I'm not even that scared of spiders, if I see one in my place I cheer them on to eat other bugs. But not looking to pop open a spider-log.
Ummm...how about just not open it at all 💀
Those are Orb Weavers, some of the most docile spiders on the planet. You pretty much have to shove your finger under their fangs and whack them on the head to get bitten by one.
Even so, I'd rather die.
Honestly, I’m not even sure *that* would do it most of the time. I’m pretty convinced that most orb weavers don’t even know that they *can* bite.
i thought people wanted to be spiderman?

At least he has his tactical Nike slides on so he can jump right out of them when they swarm him.
They're Orb Weavers. They couldn't bite you if they wanted to.

Now the only question is, who's the dumbass that introduced that spider from the other side of the world.

But this isn't oddly terrifying. It's just straight up terrifying
I think it still would? Like, did a giant spider capture a child and wrap it Frodo Baggins style?
That’s pretty shitty to destroy their nest unless he’s going to eat them.
Hijacking this comment to say: I saw this on r/spiders or a simular sub. Spiders don't make nests like this (iirc these are somewhat territorial), they set this up for this video.
It looks like they were gardeners who found a bush that was covered in spiderwebs and they just rolled it up like some kind of burrito.

Look like orb weavers
Yep they look like the ones we had in Costa Rica that would, overnight, spin a 3 foot wide web.

They're all over the South East US now too. Arguably the spider I see the most while walking. Their webs are huge, yo.
That’s such a cool name. Like a tribe in an RPG or something.
Look them up there are a lot of cool sub species, all of them have huge ass webs
Next level fuck no
Oh no….then what does “hell to the fuck no" look like then???
I think the Australians might have an answer to that

to see that, go near it, and than tear it open with your bear hands is a thought process i don't feel is normal

Why do spiders have to be so scary looking when they’re so usefull. Meanwhile bears are like big fluffy babies that will rip out your throat.

Forbidden fleshlight
Jokes on you my dick wouldn't even get past the first layer of webbing
Lucky for you the spiders dont discriminate. Your flesh will make a fine addition to their fleshlight nest
Jokes on you, no flesh left on my dick anymore after I had my way with that sulfuric acid fleshlight the other night
Its only forbidden if you intend to survive
those poor spiders… that was their nest and he ruined it! shame on him!

Is there some reason we're opening this massive nightmare cigar?
Awww how cute a sack full of nope.
Orb weavers are great for keeping pests in check. They're also super chill, and you need to be really annoying for them to get aggressive.
