Orange, yellow, black, and grey spider out by my tropical fish pond.
Desert of El Paso.
Is it poisonous?
Got a picture of the top side.
The angle it's at is difficult. Been hanging around the pond for about 2-3 weeks now. I'll keep an eye out for you though.
If you had a dorsal (top) view of this spider, I could confirm if it's the New Mexico orb weaver, Neoscona oaxacensis.

It's an orb weaver. No, it's not venomous. :)
