Hi, your son has been busy with spider catching and he’s doing well! This one would be easier to identify to species with a dorsal (topside) photo. If you still have the spider please post another photo as a new posting. It’s a female orb web spider and not dangerous. He might get bitten if he holds a spider too tightly in his hand. That pains and scares spiders.
Hello. Trying to figure out what spider this is that my son caught
