St Andrew Cross Spider Argiope keyserlingi

A St Andrew Cross Spider I found in a park near the city center of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I guess it was still a juvenile as the pattern on its back is not yet obvious.

Welcome to JungleDragon, James!

Note that I removed the species identification. Indeed this seems to be a juvenile, which means for this genus that they cannot be reliably identified. Even if we were to "guess" it, it's very unlikely to be the Argiope keyserlingi, as it's mostly an Australian species:

As there's at least 12 other species in this genus in Malaysia, it's probably best to leave this one at the genus level.
