Argiope
There is a spider hiding. Not sure which kind of spider would spin a web like this. Circles of zigzags in the centre of the web .. finer circles spreading out across the leaf

Thanks for the info Dave @ folicallychalled :)
This is a species of male argiope. Obviously very difficult to tell which species, as they all make webs like this. The males are difficult to identify at the best of times, as they look nothing like the females, which are the popular, colorful spiders that are generally photographed.
Good one :)
Dave
Thanks Jae :)
Wow that's a cool web. Great spotting, Viv.
