Just spotted in our bathroom. The one thing I miss on the metaverse is the spider identification group. Can anyone tell me who this little chap is?

I’ve been doing an unholy amount of weeding recently and keep seeing these little spiders fleeing my progress. Many are carrying a tiny white ball and so I looked them up out of curiosity.
Apparently they are “Rabid Wolf Spiders”, which sounds like they themselves got to pick it out and sought something impressively terrifying so that humans would leave them alone. It’s certainly a misnomer since spiders cannot be rabid.
The white ball is an egg sac.

From my walk this morning, Brown-Eyed Susan, Rudbeckia hirta. While taking the first photo I noticed a little flower crab spider, the Misumena vatia, commonly called the goldenrod crab spider.
