    Spider ID

    SWMBO encountered a couple of these little fellows on the clothes line today.
    I've never seen them before and was wondering if someone could identify them .................... no, not the $2 coin, the other fella.

    Juvenile common garden orb weaver. Harmless. Further, it's a female.

    They're fatter than the males; and they're like that before they get married and have kids.

    That is a 'Live' spider. They are easily converted to the other kind.
