Argiope trifasciata
3/4" legspan male spider with gray cephalothorax & gold abdomen
Semi rural
Thanks for the lead João - I should have guessed from the cephalothorax but it was on the ground not a web so I didn't make the connection! It's the first I've seen of this species so I'm very happy!
Might be from an Argiope
