I walked out onto my porch yesterday and found this guy on the fence. i was only able to take some pictures of his underside because I wasn't going to try to move him... is he poisonous? Please help!

This appears to be an orb-weaving spider (family Araneidae) , this is a very large family, none of which are dangerous to humans.
