There is an invasive spider that has made its way to Georgia and you can help scientists keep track of it.
It’s big, it’s ugly, it’s yellow and have no doubt seen the Japanese Joro Spider in your yards. Rebekah Wallace with the University of Georgia’s Center of Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health says there is a smartphone app called Joro Watch that allows you to take pics and report information to researchers.
The Joro Spider first appeared in the state in 2014. It is harmless to us but it does have impact on the environment. UGA scientists say the spider is here to stay.
