Light and dark brown stripes on legs. About the size of a half doller with legs extended. Looks like a violin shape on *abdomen*.

Hi, I can’t tell which species it is, but it is an orbweaver type of spider. Don’t worry about the violin mark, it isn’t a widow spider. Orb (circular) web spiders are calm spiders that make webs in big open areas.
