Picture of unidentified spider

Comments & ID Thoughts

This spider is sitting on my daughters school window sill in Wetaskiwin county in central Alberta. It is about a inch and a half round brown, white and hairy. Is this spider poisonous? Will it hurt young childern or small pets?

Hi. This is one of the orb weavers, none of them are any threat at all.
Children often play with them and handle them, although the spider would rather be left alone. Nice classroom pet to observe.
Looks like Araneus nordmanni.
