Spider found among prickly pear

Post by MWP admin »

I have searched this spider in local books for ID and the nearest I got is the Lobed Agriope (Agriope lobata). I would like a confirmation please.This spider often found between leaves of the prickly pears and quite large and mummifies its prey in a large web coccoon.
