buenos dias ms. joro !

so i finally found the culprit causing me to have a nice thick string(s) of web across my face each day as i open the front door.

had to look it up to confirm it is the arachnid they are talking about migrating (invasively) across the midwest/eastern/southern US.

if i understand correctly, this sucker it just getting started in its growing stage. orb-weavers are known to be "massive" for non-ground-dwelling spiders.

What a co-inka-dink because over the last month I've also has a invasion of sorts from these "out-of-towners". A Egyptian giant moth with a 5" wing span and a golden orb weaver 5"+ itself and their webs R sticky as you now know. (I do hope that we don't get into to much trouble for doing a nature channel piece). I do believe yours is a female because as "I UNDERSTAND" the males have the 2 little knob thingies for sperm transfer to females in front like on my pic.

WHOA!

from what i read the males of the joros are much smaller and brown(ish?) fwiw

the 2 little knob things you mention on the orb weaver are on its head !! look at the other end man.
