Okay, looks like someone landed on a bad tile in Jumanji.
The Joro spider is a massive, invasive spider that originated in Asia. The predominantly yellow spider, which can grow as big as the palm of your hand (oh my!), was initially spotted in Georgia in 2013. Ten years later, the species has managed to spread across other parts of the American South.
Because of this rapid spread of the species, scientists from the University of Georgia estimate that the arachnid could reach and take over the East Coast in the coming years. The experts attribute their increase in numbers to having a good tolerance towards colder conditions.
