I'd Like to Teach the World
Timothy Birdnow
Maybe the murder hornets will kill the Juro spiders? Or maybe the two together will kill the killer bees?
Who remembers the parody of "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" back in the '70's?
"crab apple trees and killer bees and snow-white mushroom clouds".
CBS News
First came the spotted lanternflies, then the cicadas, and now, the spiders. The Northeast U.S. is bracing for an invasion of giant venomous spiders with massively long legs that can parachute through the air and, according to experts, "seem to be OK with living in a city.”
"It is a matter of when, not if” they arrive, one expert said. https://cbsn.ws/45cCs1i

I must admit I don't remember the parody. The original song was dumb enough.
I also hear that "experts" (heavens, don't we need more of THEM?) tell us those spiders won't hurt us, they're just dangerous to their natural enemies? Fine, and I'm gonna make sure I don't let any of 'em get near me. (Experts, I mean, not the spiders).

Agreed Dana; that song WAS stupid. In fact, it was an advertising jingle for Coke originally, but the tune was catchy so the guys who made it rewrote it and it became a song on the charts. But it was still stupid either way.
I know; this article was clickbait. Nothing to worry about unless you are allergic to them.
Frankly I'd like to keep both away from me.
