I found this mofo on my ceiling as I was trying to enjoy cheesecake. I looked up after serving myself a honking slice and to my terror was met with this 2 - 3 cm monster(vertically)/ 1 - 1 1/2 cm (horizontally). Please tell me he's harmless :'0

Just eat the cheesecake and ignore the spider! It looks like a male Cross Orbweaver, Araneus diadematus. Maybe an immature female. I found one just like him on a gravestone yesterday. He should be outdoors coveting juicy insects, not indoors eyeing cheesecake, but I would definitely make the same choice. Now I really want some cheesecake, at least I have lots of ice cream. 🙂
