Hi, welcome to SpiderID. 🙂 Your spider is an Argiope Orbweaver, given the location it may be either Argiope blanda or Argiope argentata. I’m not sure which from this image.

I’ll post more pics later. Is it a male or female? Thanks!

I need to look up the distinguishing characteristics, too much going on at the moment. But I think the ventral (underside) of the spider is supposed to have a different pattern on it. Some of the protrusions may be shaped a little different too. So images of those things may help. Your spider looks female. Here is a male Argiope argentata for comparison: https://bugguide.net/node/view/165415
