are these poisonous?

@bbender1986

They've some venom, but are harmless to humans. And these spiders are very gentle and clumsy outside of their webs.

Excellent footage . . . good camera work . . . however, I'd have chosen a more pastoral piece of music.

did u shoot these shots yourself here because therer nice and is that your house or are u visting there for some reason

[VascoPolonia]

Yes, that's near my old house, in Seoul. The whole bunch of these beautiful spiders have lived on this tiny, local square year in year out. The locals must have gotten used to them, as even though the Joros are very big and sometimes hang over people's heads no one hurts them. They are harmless.

Thanks for watching.
