Welcome Makita...!! @Apple its not kind of Hybrid.. If you check images of this Female spider on web it has little different colours in various areas. Its body structure is remain same.
Yes, I agree with appensa, it's just that catenulata feet coloring looks closer....could it be a hybrid?
Apple you was just reached its... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argiope_appensa
My suggestion would be either Argiope appensa or Argiope catenulata (not really right area for that but leg coloring matches better)
I agree, it is likely some form of argiope.
Can be Argiope savignyi or Argiope appensa
