AI Summary

In this episode of 'Stuff You Should Know', hosts Josh and Chuck delve into the Joro spiders, an invasive species that arrived in the U.S. from East Asia. First spotted in Georgia around 2013, these spiders are known for their impressive webs and lack of natural predators, allowing their population to flourish in southern states. Despite their invasiveness, studies indicate they do not drastically affect local ecosystems, and their venom poses minimal risk to humans, similar to a bee sting. Overall, the hosts conclude there's no need for extermination as their impact seems manageable.
