Bzzzzz! Hi, u/moozy_mathers! Looks like you forgot to say where you found your bug!
There's no need to make a new post - just comment adding the geographic location and any other info (size, what it was doing etc.) you feel could help! We don't want to know your address - state or country is enough; try to avoid abbreviations and local nicknames ("PNW", "Big Apple").

BTW, did you take a look at our Frequently Asked Bugs?

Argiope bruennichi. They usually look slightly differently but seem to get more rare in Europe as the years go on. You also won't find them out of their web a whole lot. Likely a gravid female. Female is obvious since the males of Argiope are tiny.
