Can’t see enough of her to be certain of the species. Pretty sure she’s a marbled orbweaver, Araneus marmorous . Just enough venom to paralyze her insect prey and cause a bit of discomfort for any larger animal that is endangering her life, usually by squishing up against the spider. No worse than a bee sting. If you don’t touch her she won’t touch you and she’ll go about her business of catching insects and protecting an egg sack if she has one.
