Hi. This is in fact a female orb weaver, this one a spotted orb weaver, looks Neoscona crucifera species.
Very harmless spiders, I certainly welcome them.

Thank you. I’m not afraid of them. Usually if someone finds one in the house I’m the one to relocate it. But it’s nice to know what I’m looking at. 🙂
