This might be Argiope florida. It is definitely an Argiope species. We don’t have any previous submissions of photos of A. florida to our website, I haven’t seen one before. Thank you for posting your photo!

Wow! I never thought about the classic Argiope stance being good camouflage before, but here it is! That spider looks just like the spines on the cactus.
