This beauty was put in a cage by a maintenance guy and left on my desk (I teach elementary school science) It was found in the early evening clinging to an exterior wall. My 2nd grade students are finishing a unit on insects and spiders and admired its beauty greatly! What is it?

Marbled orb weaver
Yet another variation of the marbled orb weaver, Araneus marmoreus. Nice specimen:-) Female.
