there is something deeply primeval about walking into a three-foot-wide spiral web with a 5-inch leg-span orb weaver in the middle of it.

We have invasive Joro spiders in my neck of Appalachia; it is deeply unpleasant to walk through one of their webs, and they like to span them right across hiking trails. When the light is just right, you can see thousands of their webs spanning telephone wires.

The kudzu of spiders.

You're not wrong. They're displacing native orb weavers by strongly out-competing them.

We also have bamboo, which is a lot like kudzu, only it grows slightly slower.
