Minuscule Spotted Leafspider
This spider is minute. It was carrying that pinkish-white sac, probably the egg sac around. Macro photography can sometimes be tricky with judging the size of photographed animals. With my eyes, I confirmed the size of the egg sac to be about the width of a rice corn, not its length. It is about 1mm in diameter and the spider is maybe slightly larger but probably not reaching 2mm. The spider was crawling fast out of some dry leaf litter between our compost bin that I had stirred up chasing for a better picture of the moth fly. It went down a crack and emerged, not really wanting to show its face. On the photos I notice a mite on the spider's head which might confirm its miniature size. The animal seems to have lost a leg and parts of other legs.
