Hi, your spider was a black and yellow banded orbweaver, Argiope aurantia. They don’t usually show up in inside objects. My guess is that she left her web to drink the water droplets (inside a flower pot in the form of Doc Dwarf’s lower body?!). There’s some used spider web in Doc’s groin area, she might have stolen insects from another spider and/or eaten the other spider. The world of spiders is no Disneyland! 😉
