Note that she has a distinct, wide, dark stripe on her abdomen, bordered by narrow light 'racing stripes.' In this light, she appears to be of a brownish colour; her back, from what we can see when we look out the window, is white with a black pattern.
A bit on spiders:
Spiders are arachnids, not insects: they have eight legs (as opposed to six) and two distinct body sections (as opposed to the three insects have). They are carnivorous and therefore quite helpful, as they rid the world of many insects, bugs, and other spiders which would otherwise overpopulate and take over the world, making us their unwilling slaves.
Spiders usually have eight eyes; some have fewer (even none). One way to recognise different families of spiders is by their eye arrangement.
The granddaddy-long-legs, otherwise known as daddy-long-legs or harvestmen, is not a spider, though this creature does weave webs. They have fangs so small that they cannot pierce human flesh.
Some spiders do not weave webs.
