Moved into a new house and thus bugger is chilling out front. Couldn’t get the best picture, sorry.

Really need a clearer close-up image - looks like a spider, but...

Here’s a better picture. He/she has a huge web.

It's an orb weaver (family Araneidae); I'll try having a closer look at it later to see if I can make a more specific determination. All orb weavers are harmless to humans.

It might be Cyrtophora citricola - http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/MISC/SPIDERS/Cyrtophora_citricola.htm

I got a better picture. He’s got a new leaf. I thank him and the geckos for keeping the mosquitoes away!

Nice picture, but 'he' is a 'she'...

Oh my bad! I don’t know how to tell the difference. Should just stick to calling it an “it.” Haha. Thank you.
