Hello Can anyone identify this spider? I am scared it is a Hobo. I found a few in the house. I live in Portland OR.
Hobo spider or House spider!!!?
It is not a Hobo Spider : "Hobo spiders are brown in color and have no distinct rings on their legs... "

I am leaning toward the Cross Spider, an Orb Weaver, which is harmless to humans.

I hope someone will confirm this or correct me. I've come to appreciate spiders, so enjoy trying to identify them.
It is indeed a male cross spider (Araneus diadematus) - https://www.flickr.com/photos/25980517@N03/3108110626
