CLOSED: What kind of spider is this?

West Chester, OH

I goto these Trailors to clean them everyday, and at night the spectaculars come out :) These spiders, I feed them with the bugs that fly on the lights, and some pretty big moths once like every 2 or 3 days.

What kind of spider are they? Are they dangerous?

This is yet another orb-weaving spider (family Araneidae). There are several species with this general color pattern; see http://www.pbase.com/tmurray74/image/52697155 for an example (Larinioides cornutus).
