Some type of Orb Weaver. There are many types though.

Yup! I agree, I saw the same thing once I zoomed in, little baby spider legs.

A few weeks ago, I saw a spider with what looked like a blueberry on it's back. It was so big, I stopped to look. The same day I saw an identical spider a mile away while on the Lake Johnson trail. So I looked it up and found out that the "blueberry" was the egg sack. Very glad I didn't step on it by accident.

Wolf spiders got a free pass in my garden. I wouldn't allow one in a place where I might walk into the web but I think I'd consider it in my garage if it was in a seldom used area.

Jumping Spiders always get a free pass because they don't create webs. And I think they're kind of cute and fascinating looking close-up.

If it was orange and yellow, it might be a Marbled Orb Weaver spider: https://www.instagram.com/p/BYl933VH...=alwaysgreenie
