About this listen

🕷️ What's big, colorful, and showing up in backyards across the Southeast? Debbie and Laurie are diving into the world of Joro spiders, and trust us, this is one episode you won't want to miss! From their eye-popping golden webs to their wild habit of "ballooning" through the air as babies, these spiders are making quite an entrance in the Carolinas (and beyond).

Are Joro spiders scary invaders, or helpful bug-eaters keeping stink bugs and lanternflies in check? 🤔 Debbie and Laurie share what we know so far, sprinkle in some fun spider facts, and, of course, have plenty of laughs along the way (with maybe a few shivers, too!). Whether you're fascinated or freaked out, you'll come away seeing these newcomers in a whole new light. 🌎✨
