That is the female spider just from underneath. This is what I found when looking for what male vs female look like. OP’s picture is also a female and I still love her 💚
The female spiders, especially orbweavers, always look way cooler than the males. I had a argiope argentata in my yard last year that looked like she had a skull for an abdomen, she was massive and the male was so tiny that it was hard to get a clear picture of him!
Actually, I just remembered I found a different male near the front door and grabbed a better picture with the macro lens for my phone. He was really small!

I know most people would shudder at me saying this, but…
They’re so adorable!
I don’t shudder at all, I’m a total spider and insect fan. They are absolutely adorable! ☺️
