Argiope appensa
Found this spider (2.5 inches from foot tip to foot tip) in his lovely web under an awning at the Hindu Monastery in Kapaa, HI. His torso was almost completely golden. His web had a zig zag seam on it.
I agree with the ID suggestion. Here are a couple of links so you can compare images and info. http://www.insectidentification.org/inse...
