male orb weaver of some kind? found this spider on the inside of my front door. later saw it on the ceiling a few feet away, but it didn't stay long or make a web. for size comparison: the green part of the image is a post-it note with handwriting

Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 This one is Araneus pegnia.
much obliged. this should count as a twofer, since this also helped me ID another spider i photographed of the same species (a female)
Haha, glad to help.
Does this spider have venom?
