It came for Halloween! Seriously it did!
This picture does not do this guy justice! It was bright red and very dark/black legs – just beautiful. He allowed me to take his picture and was gone within an hour. I’ve looked around for him, but to no avail. What the heck is it??? Thanks so much for your help.

Hi Paula,
She is an Orbweaver in the genus Araneus, most probably the Cross Spider, Araneus diadematus, sometimes called the Garden Spider.
