She's been hanging out by my garage for a few weeks now. I've fed her a few random bugs. I feel like I should name her. Any suggestions?
I always call spiders Legs. Unless they're jumping spiders, then they're Portia.

Not sure on a name, but nice spider! This is the closest I've seen to one I saw in Minnesota one time. It had similar markings, but the body was black and white, and the legs were red and green striped. When I describe it to people it sounds like I was hallucinating.
Probably a banded garden spider, or perhaps an orbweaver, they get really colorful. Both are pretty common in Minnesota. Here's some examples of Orchid Orbweavers, which often have a lot of bright green coloration. https://usaspiders.com/leucauge-venusta-orchard-spider/
Neat! Those do both resemble it, but it looks more like the photo here in terms of shapes and color patterns.
It's a Joro spider, Trichonephila clavata.
Was trying to help the parent poster find the spider he saw in Minnesota, USA.
