A quick Google search has me thinking this is a variety of orb weaver spider.
I also learned that wasps will fly into a web and mimic the vibration of a struggling insect to lure the spider near. When in close proximity it will carry the spider away to be paralyzed and stored as a live meal for its young! Nature is fierce my friends!

Great shots, Sandra! Where prey and predator merge. The world is a harsh place, especially when you are this size.

Thank you Pete! Yes, it was a showy web out in the open. Knowing what is overhead and buzzing nearby makes me cringe but the world’s got to eat I suppose. You take good care out there friend!

Is it safe or poisonous🕷🕸?🙃

Good question! I didn’t know so I looked it up and found this on a spider reference site, “The orb-weaver spider is not poisonous; rather, it is toxic, but its venom is not powerful enough to cause harm to humans. When the spider bites, the venom delivered through its fangs causes a localized swelling and redness that typically disappears from the skin in approximately one day.”
