She has pretty markings. She’s a Triangulate Cobweb Spider. They’re beneficial and not dangerous to people. They’re very good at preying on insects and other spiders. I have a bunch that earn their keep in my house. They can live either indoors or outdoors. BTW, I love the song, “Tyler,” inspired by the Texas town, by The Toadies.
