    Anyone know what this is? Its body/head together are about the size of a penny.

    Hi, mngrl, welcome to the forum! This appears to be a female Eriophora ravilla (nicknamed the "Tropical Orbweaver"). This species comes in a variety of color patterns; this is one of the morphs with the white patch on its abdomen. No species of orbweaver is considered dangerously venomous to people, in case that was an unspoken question.

    Thanks for posting!
