Nice find! But not Argiope
Rather the lovely Neoscona domiciliorum

Wow ~ thanks!
I know even less about spiders, except have lots of Spiny Orb-weavers [Gasteracantha] where I live. What I see quite often didn't seem to resemble this Spotted Orbweaver so I was self-led down the wrong path and was looking more at the web pattern ... Thanks for the correction and accurate ID! Really do appreciate the help!
