I'm pretty sure it's a marbled orb weaver here's some images :

Some have a dark pattern some have a white/clear pattern like yours.

Are you keeping it? How big is it? It would be awesome to have a terrarium with some twigs and a nice fancy web with a colorful spider like that hanging out in the center of it.

Ohh ding, I think that's it! Pictures look darn similar. Thanks

Yes I am! Outside that is.

My tanks are all taken up and I don't have any tops for them. And before you say it... we don't have a Petco around here

Don't think the little lady would be able to sleep anyways if I brought it inside. I only found it when it started moving and it only did that because I accidentally broke it's web I'm sure it'll be back out today on a new web, I'll try to get some shots of it posing.
Thanks for the ID!

Well he was still out there and had spun a new web but was camera shy today. I really need some funds and get myself a DSLR and macro lens...
Since he was camera shy I snapped a pic of his butt

Found him out there while I was browsing:

Did you get peed on?

Every time I've caught a toad I get squirted!

Me too, every time! That's why I always carry them well away and ahead of my shoes

LOL nope I got lucky I guess. As I reached to grab it my fiancee said 'Don't it'll pee all over you!'
I decided against her advice and grabbed him up before the dogs did and moved him to the other side of the fence. Maybe I'll find something else tomorrow

Seems to be Orb weaver season.

Thanks, just wish I would have had my camera on me to do a nice macro shot. Phone did a pretty decent job though.
