Comments & ID Thoughts
I think she’s a Henz Orb Spider. She spun her web at an angle below the back porch light. Thus creating a screen to catch bugs attracted to the light at night.

The picture is of “Charlotte” on the back yard fence just below her proper web. For weeks she kept swarms of bugs from flying in my face when I took the dog out at night. Because of that I grew rather fond of her. I became intrigued by the way her web acted as a screen for pesky insects which would otherwise get in th house when I open the door. Tonight she’s on the right side of the door near the hinges. I think she’s had her fill of food for the night.
