Fox News
A palm-sized and brightly colored invasive spider that is native to East Asia was spotted in a historic neighborhood in Boston, Massachusetts.
"It's surprising that it's in the middle of Boston on [a] main street and yet this is supposedly the first one in all of Massachusetts that's been sighted," Schifferdecker told the outlet. Sarah Rumpf-Whitten is a breaking news writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.

Earlier in the summer, scientists warned that the invasive species could make its move from the South into the Northeast. The Joro spider's Boston appearance this week is its northernmost sighting.
