Found her last week hanging out in my porch and she's still around. Thought I'd see if the helpful people here could tell me more about her.

Looks like Argiope aurantia, a very common (and harmless) orb weaver that goes by any number of common names.

Thanks. I was pretty sure it was harmless, just curious about what it exactly was.

Thanks Flapdoodle.
