Does anyone know what this spider is called and if it is poisonous?
Well, virtually all spiders have venom. But only two that are found in the US are of any concern to humans, the brown recluse (Which is NOT found in your area, except in isolated colonies), and the black widow. This is NOT a black widow or a recluse. I think it’s a species of Araneus, the orb weavers. Completely harmless.
