@makyo Just a harmless orb weaver-- there's tons of them in our back yard right now, too. They get really big, but the worst they can do is bite and leave a painful itchy bump on you that goes away in a couple of days.

Might be this guy here: spiderid.com/spider/araneidae/

@mawr @makyo With an abdomen like that at this time of year, it's very possible that's a ladyspider, too. n..n
