Among necrobots and Joro spiders

 


We wrap up today´s crazy science news with a current story and a 2022 item. The current? Colorful Japanese Joro spiders have gone urban in the United States, which could be a problemo unless you have an inverterate fondness for cobwebs 1.8 meters in diameter. In Atlanta, they are probably already on your doorstep, or at least around the interstate! 

The second piece is about scientists reviving dead spiders, turning them into "necrobots". I´m sure that´s perfectly normal. Many humans suffer from arachnophobia, but I wonder how many wolf spiders have humano-phobia?  

Giant, invasive spiders could be poised to take over U.S. cities, scientists warn
