This spider lives on the rosebush near our front porch. Every night around 9pm, it comes out to spin a large web -- about 2-1/2 feet across -- to catch bugs attracted to our porch light. I first met it last week when I almost stuck my head through the web to make sure the front yard faucet was off (which is a nightly ritual to make sure Alexander didn't sneak out to break the water ban).
