This thing's the size of a hand....spread wide
And it's only a few feet away from our back deck. It's set up camp between a tree in our back yard and the roof of our house.
I know it's harmless...but it's scaring the Mrs something shocking!!!!!

She's concered it's gonna sneek in during the night when she's sleeping and do something horrible.
I'm not much of an arachnophile, but I think it's some flavour of orb weaver?
