Isn't she pretty - cool spider on my front porch

Cool picture but I really hate spiders. They scare me.

Glad Charlotte is ok :). I'd probably just leave her, she can find a new suitable spot for her web and trying to catch her would run the risk of injuring her. She might even be preparing to lay her eggs, I think early to late August and even into early September (depending how warm it is), they lay their eggs in those silk sacks in cool dark corners.
