Hi, this is a Hentz Orb-weaver, Neoscona crucifera. They are beneficial and timid. Like most spiders they have venom but are unlikely to bite except in self defense and are not considered to be of medical significance (everyone’s immune system is different though). They prey on less desirable things.
