The most eye-catching joro spiders are the females, which are larger and more colorful than the males. A mature femaleās body can be about 2.5 cm (1 inch), and each leg can reach up to 10 cm (4 inches) in length. When the legs are outstretched, a female spider is about the size of an adult human hand. The male spider is much smaller, with a body about 7 mm (0.3 inches) long, not including the legs.
