Comments & ID Thoughts

i'm pretty confident this is a cat-faced orbweaver (araneus gemmoides). she might be pregnant? definitely a she, based on size and lack of palps.

Hi
Your little friend here is family Araneidae. One of the garden orb weavers.
I might suggest Araneus gemmoides species, commonly called catface spider.
