Trichonephila clavata, also known as the ‘Joro Spider’, is a member of the golden orb-web spider genus. The spider can be found throughout Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, and more recently, northeast Georgia. Joro spiders are easily identified by their larger size and distinctive, gold-tinted multi-layered webs.
