A six-inch spider from Asia that can travel by air is expanding its “web” presence, penetrating deeper with the potential to invade the northeast.

The golden arachnid, dubbed the Joro Spider hitched a ride on a shipping container, reports the Scientific American.

“Millions of hand-size Joro spiders are moving up the east coast,” the magazine says. “Don’t panic.”

Yeah right.

“The spiders are indeed on the move,” reports Stephanie Pappas.

They don’t readily bite and don’t kill humans.

Oh OK now we feel better. Not!
