This is actually a different spide to the Wasp Spider, Nagakogane-gumo. This is called a Kogane-gumo, Argiope amoena. The Wasp Spider is, Argiope bruennichii. If you compare the two photos you will see that the Wasp Spider is more oval in body shape and a lot more yellow with thinner dark lines.

That's a great shot though.

Thank you for the correction! I see that they look quite different now. I have changed the title of this picture.
