That is to say, the giant network brides that everyone usually sees must be female network brides, and only they will weave such a big and thick net.

Because the number and range of brides are expanding, and everyone is afraid of being poisoned after being bitten, American experts have also come out to say that this spider does originate in East Asia, and places like Japan, China and South Korea are more common.

Moreover, the attack ability of the bride is also very weak, even if it bites, it is often impossible to destroy the skin, and their venom not only cannot threaten humans, but also difficult to cause harm to cats and dogs, of course, there is a big premise that you will not be allergic to their venom.

Experts also said that from the current situation, the network of brides has established a foothold in some parts of the United States, and the scale and number are expanding, not excluding other states in the United States with similar climates, which will also be invaded by this giant spider in the future.

For example, brides kill more hated mosquitoes, brown badgers that are also invasive species, and bite flies.
