My granddaughter caught this on their front porch and I've tried to find it on the internet, but had no luck. Any ideas?

An orb weaver in the genus Araneus; likely Araneus gemmoides - see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cat-faced_Spider_-_Araneus_gemmoides,_Coldstream,_British_Columbia_-_02.jpg for an example. Like several other species in this genus, its color pattern can be quite variable. All orb weavers are harmless to humans.
