A very harmless and beneficial spider.
Nice find, and yes, they are very fascinating.
Similar to one of my little pets:

Saw where ppl posted type of spider. I'm posting to say that is the coolest spider. Right up there with camel spider on my top faves now lol
That appears to be an orb web spider closely related to what we call garden spiders. I couldn't find the exact species.

A friend of mine found this super creepy yet amazing creature somewhere in the fields and I would love to know what kind of spider it is (Species etc.)
Here are the pictures:
