Based on the web it is a writing spider and yes the other names are for same. Maybe a variation. Hopefully someone else with more knowledge can help.
James-is the Writing Spider the common name for the Argiope spider? I have also seen the term garden spider. I was looking at some pictures and I see mostly yellow and black spiders. I haven't seen one that looks like this one.
Please consider adding this spotting to the Animal Architecture mission at http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8082378
