00:00guys get ready because these spiders are the size of your hand and they can literally fly and the
00:06reason why you should watch this video is because they're spreading further north than they ever
00:10have before so these are actually called joro spiders and they come over from asia but the
00:14females get about four inches across legs and all scientists are saying that the way that they spread
00:19is actually insane because the babies let out strands of silk they catch the wind and then they
00:24fly over a hundred miles to a new area they've now been spotted all across baltimore and researchers
00:29are saying that they'll keep pushing into the northeast and could eventually reach canada the
00:33reason nothing stops them is because of the cold because their metabolism runs twice as fast as
00:37related species and they survive freezes that other spiders can one study was even able to find that
00:43they can stay calm under stress while everything else panics so that's obviously cool they are
00:47saying that they're basically harmless to you because their fangs are too small to really bite
00:51and reports of them jump to 800 in one year so what does really mean go check your porch you
00:57might have
00:57a new roommate
