Jorōgumo
''Jorōgumo'' (Japanese Kanji: , Hiragana: ) is a type of ''Yōkai'', a creature, ghost or goblin of Japanese folklore. According to some stories, a ''Jorōgumo'' is a spider that can change its appearance into that of a seductive woman. In Japanese Kanji, ''Jorōgumo'' is written as "" (literally meaning "binding bride") or "" (literally meaning "whore spider"). ''Jorōgumo'' can also refer to some species of spiders, but in casual use it can refer to the ''Nephila'' and ''Argiope'' spiders. Japanese-speaking entomologists use the katakana form of ''Jorōgumo'' () to refer, exclusively, to the spider species ''Nephila clavata''. ==Stories== The Edo period legend has it that a beautiful woman would entice a man into a quiet shack and begin to play a ''Biwa'', a type of Japanese lute. While the victim would be distracted by the sound of the instrument, she binds her victim in spider silk threads in order to devour the unsuspecting person as her next meal.
