Macungie, 
https://bugguide.net/node/view/2010 You got the Orbweaver part! She’s Leucauge venusta. I have them in my yard, they’re pretty. This looks like a daylight photo, her legs are translucent. At night the legs look metallic green-black and the abdomen looks pearly, by flashlight. They reflect light a bit. Note the weird way she is standing with her legs arched to hold her body far from the web. It is a distinct trait of this species.
