CLOSED: I need to identify this spider!

Hello! Please help me! Ive been trying to look for information about this spider for hours. I have gotten nothing! Maybe I havent searched the correct places so I was wondering if anyone here would~ Btw I live in Panama, Central America. I found it in my garden. It spins silk, has a white silkish half of the abdomen and the other half is yellow. It has six eyes I believe, 4 in the bottom line and two at the top. Thank you in advance! Yes, it is in a bottle btw, it has holes in it though. Im sorry but I was really curious and I will release it afterwards! Thank you!

This is an orb weaver in the genus Argiope, possibly A. argentata (the silver argiope) - see http://benkolstad.net/wp-content/gallery/arachnids/argiope_argentata_dorsum_20120126.jpg for an image. However, some specimens of A. savignyi can have a similar appearance - http://www.naturephoto-cz.com/photos/sevcik/spider--argiope-argentata.jpg

Thank you very much! The orb weaver was one of my options :) but I wasnt sure since it didnt look like it but I guess that I didnt search specific genus ^^ thank you!
