I want to know what kind of spider is this? It has a web on my porch and it always stays in the same spot like it’s playing dead

Hello, She’s a cross orbweaver, Araneus diadematus. They do a lot of the “playing dead” thing. I only saw some of the orbweavers on my porch move when I pulled an edge of the web, blew on them, or other such ways to be annoying to a spider. I was just checking if they were alive.
