Zygilla x-notata. This is a difficult Orbweaver species to recognize. And to spell. 😉 The web was the best clue. She’s called a Missing Sector Orbweaver because a sector of the web is missing. Above her, a bit to the right is the missing section. Your photo shows it nicely. Here’s a link to more info about the species: https://bugguide.net/node/view/191077
Thank you! The beautiful red abdomen was tripping up my search!
