This is indeed an orb weaver. It is a male Nd they can look quite different to their male counterparts...which is why you are having difficulty finding a picture match.

Certainly Pholsidae family, often called daddy long leg spiders. Although they are capable of biting, their venom is too mild for most to even notice. Usually they dwell in webs where you can leave them be. They can be freely handled but use care as their legs can easily break. I have handled countless cellar spiders and if I were ever bitten, I never noticed. Discussion Thread

It looks a lot like the spider I caught today, which I'm convinced is a black lace weaver. Indoors, it looked black. It was about 1" in size. It behaved as you described.

SoggyCoffee commented on picture ID 195333.

Gonna guess it’s a kind of wolf spider - wolf spiders have very rounded thoraxes due to their spinnerets (the web-making bits) being very stubby/small. Best way to tell for certain would be to look at the eyes - if they have two very large eyes front and center as well, chances are it’s a wolfie. ... Discussion Thread

Wow what an amazing picture!... Discussion Thread

SoggyCoffee commented on picture ID 195325.

No worries. There are two main reasons I think it’s likely a sac spider: 1. The legs - certain sac spiders have legs where the tarsus (the last segment of the leg, sort of like their ‘foot’) lays flat against the ground, and is often darker than the rest of the spider. There is a sac spider whose name is actually the ‘black footed sac spider’ for this reason. 2. The heart mark - t... Discussion Thread
