I would love to let the four of these I have be free, but I do not want them to possibly danger my family. I would like to know if this species is dangerous, or what species this could be. This is a juvenile.
I know a lot about spiders and im good at identifying them so il help. it depends on weather your in the UK or not. the Spiders in the Uk are completely harmless. the only time you have to worry is if your allergic to them. like other wildlife in the uk they have defence mechanisms to protect themselves but a spiders first instinct when it feels like its in danger is to run away so they are more likely to run away than they are to fight back. not all spiders bite but with those that do here in the uk its only used as a last resort and with those that do there bites dont pose any real threat to humans unless someone is allergic unlike the ones you get in other countries. and most of the spiders in the uk dont bite. there more scared of you than you are of it. so you got nothing to worry about. spiders play a very important role in the ecosystem and keep flys in check so they are very good biological control agents this spider is an orb weaver spider. and one of the most common members in that family the species literally called the garden spider. I hope that helps.
