The color pattern on the abdomen doesn't match the pics I saw, but there may be a LOT of variation in this species. I know one thing - it's both beautiful and wierd.......

Please tell me that you have marked the location of this spider, so you can return for more photographs. This is one pretty female.
I have my doubts about your ID. See images here:

Thanks Tom. Yes, if it's an immature, the color pattern could be very different. Maybe you can keep feeding it 'til it's grown.
