This spider was found in my yard this past summer (Wisconsin). I just stumbled upon the picture and tried to identify the spider myself using online sources, but to no avail.

It's Enoplognatha ovata in the family Theridiidae, a European species that has been introduced into North America. This species shows great variation in its color pattern - http://bugeric.blogspot.com/2014/03/candystripe-spider.html
