No idea what this interesting spider is. Outside on my fence. My dog almost got tangled in the web and the spider and her both freaked out.

What am I?
Hi Grettie1130,
Despite the difficult orientation of the photo provided I believe this is Spiny Orbweaver spider, the distinct red hue that protrudes from the tips is a fantastic way or narrowing the species, however, there are multiple variations in color such as black and yellow (throwback song), yet they all tend to have the same general shape. The one in this photo most likely is a female if you were wondering, many females are very vibrant with color.
Hope this helped!
Cheers,
Joseph Silva
