Moved
Moved from Black-and-Yellow Argiope.

Has to be A. trifasciata. Images linked on the assumption that they depict the same individual.

thank you
My apologies for the classification error and thank you for linking the 2 images. Yes they are of the same individual. It was my first post and I didn't know how to link them. Thank you again.

No worries.
To link different views of the same critter... After submitting the first pic, click on it. You'll see an "add image" link under the photo. Click there and upload the next view. The images will be automatically linked. Repeat as necessary.

Not A. trifasciata?
Are you sure this isn't Argiope trifasciata? It appears to lack the anterodorsal abdominal humps that A. aurantia has.

Also, is this the same individual as (which also looks more like A. trifasciata than A. aurantia)? If so, then please link the images.
