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.
Can someone identify this spider for me? Poisonous?
