lovely spider
It probably prefers to be outside, and will eat lots of bugs. If it's not bothering anyone, just leave it be, otherwise encourage it to go off into the grass or underbursh away from people and lawn mowers (you can scoot a piece of paper under it to move it).

Perfectly harmless, but beneficial orb weaver
Looks to be Larinioides cornutus
