Just found a spider in our backyard and want to make sure it's not poisonous for the kids.
ID this spider, please.
Orb weaver, probably an Araneus sp. - technically venomous (as are nearly all spiders - see 'sticky' on spider bites), but harmless to humans.
Not harmful at all. It is an orb weaver and probably this one:
Orb Weaver Spider (Neoscona crucifera)
