Spider identification

Any of you guys know what this is ? Found him on the fence around the pool by touching it closing the gate, something felt a little odd.

Chupacabra?

Can't identify it, but it's spooky looking.

Nuke it from orbit
It's the only way...

Kill it with fire

It's been dead for a while. Only took about 10 seconds to find something to kill it with. I'm usually not terribly bothered by spiders but this one was furry and I wasn't a fan of where he was hanging out with having kids running around.

Been searching. Looks a lot like a Hentz's Orbweaver

Venom toxicity - the bite of Orb-Weaving Spiders is of low risk (not toxic) to humans. They are a non-aggressive group of spiders. Seldom bite. Be careful not to walk into their webs at night - the fright of this spider crawling over one's face can be terrifying and may cause a heart attack, particularly to the susceptible over 40 year olds.

ETA: For the record, and you can label me as " narrow-minded" for this, but I hate ALL spiders. (Was bit by a brown recluse when I was a toddler - too bad it wasn't radioactive)

Thats probably what it is. I did some looking at orb weavers last night due to the web but didn't find the hentz's. Lots of spiders running around down here, thankfully I haven't run into a black widow or brown recluse.

For us out here in the country. The Wolf spiders and Orb weavers are common outdoors. Have yet to see confirmed Brown Recluse but I do see Black Widow occasionally in dark corners of crawl space and dusty dark corners of the shop. They get smooshed and the harmless spiders get left alone.
