First I'd like to know what kind of spider this is. Then I was wondering if you could explain what the white fuzzy-looking ball attached to its rear might be. Many thanks for your time and help....Denise K.

Wolf Spider
It is a female Wolf Spider, Lycosidae, carrying her egg sac. Maybe something in Pardosa.
