That there is a spider.
You made me chuckle.
It's a cross orbweaver or European garden spider (Araneus diadematus).
Yes, that’s it. Thanks!
Golden Orb Weavers are common in Australia. I took this pic back in 2016 to send to some of my friends back in the US who find a kind of intense fascination in spiders (and also in avoiding them). Note the banding on the legs, same as yours:
Seems like some sort of Orb Weaver (where hanging in a web is a clue): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orb-weaver_spider
Over here we call them cross spiders because of the cross pattern on their abdomen

I'll raise you this picture with even more variations.

THANK YOU. This is absurd. People are treating this like it’s a search engine.
