Marbled Orb-weaver, Araneus marmoreus. 🙂
Thank you, I saw this spider twice and I was curious as to what type it is. Are they venomous?
Like most spiders they have venom but are unlikely to bite except in self defense and are not considered to be of medical significance to people. Everyone’s immune system is different though.
