Pretty sure it’s an orb weaver spider
She is. I can’t tell which species for certain from this angle. My best guess is Araneus diadematus, a Cross Orbweaver. When the females aren’t in their webs they rest in a hidden spot to avoid predators and dehydration. I think you found your orbweaver’s sleeping spot.
Thank you!
