A six-inch spider from Asia that can travel by air is expanding its โ€œwebโ€ 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.

โ€œMillions of hand-size Joro spiders are moving up the east coast,โ€ the magazine says. โ€œDonโ€™t panic.โ€

Yeah right.

โ€œThe spiders are indeed on the move,โ€ reports Stephanie Pappas.

They donโ€™t readily bite and donโ€™t kill humans.

Oh OK now we feel better. Not!
