Yep, it's a St Andrew's Cross. (Garden orbs have a way fatter body and are more brown) If you bump their web, they shake it and look really scary. I guess it's a defense mechanism to avoid being eaten! We have loads of them around our back door and we leave them there all summer (much to my mum's disgust) because they are great as a mozzie net/insect trap to stop nasty bugs from coming into the house!

as a kid we used to have a garden full of them, would spend half the summer catching flies to feed to the little guys.
