So beautiful. And has all her legs.
Hi vis jacket bro
I am just north of what most call the metro area, and they are everywhere here. Literally hundreds around me. Trying to cull them would be impossible.
Why would someone want to cull them? Is that a thing people do there?
People don't understand that while they are invasive, they are non-competitive with native spiders (so I'm told anyway), and there are lots of them. They also make really string and super sticky webs, which are annoying.
