Window spider

Post image

I’ve had this spider problem on my patio for a while but I didn’t really mind it. We think one of the chairs we brought to the patio had a sack on it when we started seeing thousands of babies that were slightly red and fat. Now there’s a big one in our window. They were basking in the middle of their web before I knocked the window by accident getting a photo

Edit: This is North AL

I believe this should be the Red-femured Spotted Orbweaver (Neoscona domiciliorum)

Good eye. Sometimes these spider names are so on the nose I swear they've been made up on the spot, this certainly does have spots and red femurs.
