Araneidae Argiope aurantia
Small spider that weaves its web in the shape of an X.
Amazon rain forest
It is clear that this is an Araneidae Argiope, but I am not entirely sure of the subspecies aurantia.

Done! Thanks, that was a good suggestion. I have many pictures that would fit nicely in this category.
