The eight-legged spawn of the golden orb-weaver was first found in Georgia about nine years ago. Research from the University of Georgia suggests the invasive arachnids will start crawling through most of the Eastern Seaboard of the U.S. They grow throughout the summer but are most noticeable in the fall when they reach adult size.Joro spiders have twice as high a metabolism and a 77% higher heart rate when exposed to low temperatures.
