It was photographed in Orem,Utah. It's about the size of the black widows I see around here and they usually don't get bigger than that but it was on a single thread and not in a web so I couldn't tell.

Hi, this is an orbweaver in genus Neoscona. Behind her are the beginning strands of an orb web. She isn’t dangerous at all. I’m not sure which species she is. I think Neoscona crucifera is most likely. She has the traits of three Neoscona species. Altogether she’s very attractive.
