Heidi You have an orbweaver spider probably a Spotted Orbweaver, but I would have to have the spider under a microscope to positively ID. The common name comes from the web-spinning behavior of these spiders - they make the classic, round "orb" web that most people associate with spiders. According to Bugguide " When measuring the size of a spider, only the body length is measured (do not include the legs)." "Orb weavers are very docile, non-aggressive spiders that will flee at the first sign of a threat (typically they will run or drop off the web). They are not dangerous to people & pets, and are actually quite beneficial because they will catch and eat a lot of pest-type insects."
