She has built an egg sac in the bush by her web... see my new post if you're interested. Beautifully amazing.......

Nice shot! As Atul says they are also called signature or writing spiders because of the distinctive spiral that they weave into their webs which is thought to attract prey. Non venomous & a good guy to have in in the garden!
