Invasive Joro spiders could take over East Coast, study says

A Joro spider in its web. (Ben Frick, co-author of study)The Joro spider, known for its distinctive yellow and blue coloring and uncomfortably large size, could soon invade the entire East Coast, a new study says. In September 2021, researchers found the invasive species, which first made its way to the United States in 2013, spinning its webs all over northeast Georgia, covering power lines, bushes and mailboxes, but after scientists observed the spiders and tested its physiology, they concluded the species could potentially survive outside of the southeastern quadrant of the U.S., according to a study published in the journal Physiological Entomology. Scientists compared the Joro spider to its close cousin, the golden silk spider, which has made its home in the southeast for over 160 years, according to the study but has yet to successfully invade other parts of the U.S.

COVID-19: No end in sight for Waterloo Region’s state of emergency

COVID-19 in those cities, local officials say it may be a while before it is lifted in Waterloo Region.“I think it’s important that each municipality look at the reasons that the emergency declaration was in place and every municipality is different,” CAO Bruce Lauckner told reporters on Friday morning, while noting that the region has talked to the other municipalities it contains about the situation.He then went on to provide an example as to why the move will come later, rather than sooner.“We still need to move staff around to support our shelter systems from time to time because COVID is still active,” Lauckner said. Interactive — Inside COVID's rehabilitation hospitals “So as we have confidence that the shelter systems, the hospitals, that our vaccine clinics and so on, no longer require operational support like that, then that would be a reason for us to and the emergency declaration.”He also noted that while the pandemic has eased, many of the people working on the front lines have been dealing with it for two years now.“So I think the worst thing we could do (is end the state of) emergency right now and then find out next week that we still have to move people,” he said.
