Hi. this looks to be a missing sector orb weaver. They are not medically significant.
If she is out of the way, I would just leave her to admire their fancy web.

I am guilty of feeding orb weavers I have around also. Try a flashlight after dark near the web. It attracts flying insects that get stuck in the web. Sometimes, so many they go nuts getting them all.
