Found him under my pool's pump...Strangest spider I've ever seen..Anyone know what it is? Poisonous? I didn't kill it, but it disappeared pretty quickly, thankfully outside....

This is Araneus marmoreus, an orb weaving spider (family Araneidae) known as the marbled orb weaver. see http://tinyurl.com/lnsaqv for images and more information. All orb weavers are harmless to humans.
