Title: Joro Spiders: Don't Let Their Frightening Appearance Fool You Joro spiders may make your heart skip a beat with their hairy legs and large bodies, but recent studies reveal that they may actually be scared of us too. These creepy crawlies, native to Japan and Korea, have been spreading across the United States and are expected to make their way to New York soon. But instead of panicking, it may be time to reconsider our fear of these arachnids. Experiments conducted by researchers suggest that Joro spiders are shyer than other spider species and tend to avoid confrontation. When presented with different stimuli, such as loud noises or sudden movements, Joro spiders were found to scurry away rather than charge at the threat like other spiders would. Despite their intimidating appearance, Joro spiders may in fact be scaredy-cats. So the next time you come across one, instead of reaching for a shoe to squash it, perhaps try to safely relocate it outdoors. Who knows, you may even be doing the spider a favour by helping it avoid potential danger. In conclusion, Joro spiders may look frightening, but we should give them a chance and reconsider our preconceived notions. After all, they may just be afraid of us too. Joro spiders, which are spreading in the US, may actually be shyer than other arachnids according to recent experiments. They are likely to turn up in New York soon. (40 words)
