People living on the East Coast may soon be noticing some new eight-legged neighbors.

Joro spiders, invasive palm-sized spiders that have become a relatively common sight in some Southeastern states, will likely be expanding their territory soon.

No predators, it doesnt have anything thats controlling its population size in the new habitat, but it has perfect conditions to spread, Benjamin Frick, University of Georgia student and co-author of a new study about the hardiness of the spiders, told local news station WGCL .

The study found that Joro spiders are well-equipped to survive cold temperatures , meaning theyre likely to thrive as their population spreads north.

Joro spiders have a distinctive bulbous yellow abdomens and yellow-striped legs. They also have the neat ability to use their webs like balloons or parachutes to ride the wind.

Originally they come from East Asia, but have been in the U.S. since at least 2013, when they most likely hitched a ride on shipping containers.
