She’s an Orbweaver. 🙂 It doesn’t show well in the photo, but she has a web that looks like a wheel and spokes. She the spiderweb emoji️ It’s called an orb ( circular ) web, though it’s actually a spiral. She’s lived a long life,it usually would be too cold in early November in Canada, I think. I still have some Wolf Spiders and Long-legged Sac Spiders in my yard. They’re durable in the cold. I’ve found Wolf Spiders living under sheets of ice in the Winter. That was a nice surprise.
