She’s Araneus marmoreus, a Marbled Orbweaver.
Thank You! She was crawling across a street while I was walking my dog, thought she was very interesting!
https://bugguide.net/node/view/2016/bgimage You’re welcome! This is a beautiful species with a vast variety of colors and markings combinations. The link is to BugGuide.net They are sorta our parent site. They have at least 18 years of submitted photos of spiders and other “bugs.” The link goes right to the A. marmoreus images. My parents have a statue in their home of a Marbled Orbweaver. They didn’t know it represented an actual kind of spider; the reds, yellows, and bright orange colors looked too fake to be on a real spider.
It is a beautiful species and thank you for the site, nice to see all the different colors, what a wonderful treat to see for the first time!
