    pretty sure it's the nymph (baby) of a stinkbug (bad) or assassin bug (good). it's hard to tell from the pictures...or if it is a spider, it's one of the Orb Weaver garden spiders...and that is a very good spider. i can't make out how many legs are in the first picture...or if it's blurry from moving its legs.
