don't know what you are talking about but down her we call them writing spiders and i have outside my window now

Argiope aurantia, normies.

Have one on my porch. Tried to move her but she came back so I'll leave her there for the season.
I get them every year.
I'm always nice and throw crickets or grasshoppers in her web every couple of days.
BTW op, its a female- males are much smaller. You might find a couple on the edges of her web later in the season.

Not sure if wasps have been bothering mine today (some species hunt these spiders), but I tried to feed her and she just shakes her web when i get close.

Its called a cotton spider.
