Eff all spiders. Kill it. 4 days in the hospital, septic shock, and almost dying from a dang bite has left me little sympathy for any of those bastards.

My guess is that it's a Banded Garden Spider (Argiope trifasciata).

This large orb-weaving spider is found mostly in warm climates throughout the World. In the Sonoran Desert it is most likely to be encountered near agriculture and along riparian zones, i.e. where prey such as grasshoppers and bees are abundant. The web is a large orb stretching a meter or more in width. There is often a zigzag layer of silk near the center upon which the spider sits.

P.S. My spider knowledge is limited to "spider" or "not spider." The info here is just from my internet search. Google Banded Garden Spider (images) and see if it looks like what you found.

 

P.P.S. I never thought I'd say this but that spider is actually kinda pretty.

I'm pretty sure that it is a "Large Squashme" spider, usually found under my boot. ;)
