Tiny Spider - Neottiura bimaculata

Tiny Spider - Neottiura bimaculata
Bodega, Sonoma County, California, USA
July 30, 2019
Size: 2-3 mm
This little spider was very active and would not stop to enable me to get a good image. The grass-like objects are hairs on my arm. The yellow ball would seem to be pollen.

Darn. I'll lose my bragging rights. I posted this image to iNaturalist about a month ago and one commentor thought it was Neottiura bimaculata. I'll post a final comment for a correction.

Is there anything in my images that clarified the ID or was it location. Just wondering.

Thanks,

Jim

my reply to your previous comment on other image.
I didn’t hear back from you, and it seems to match some of the other specimens on the species page quite well, so went ahead and corrected.

The ball is an egg sac. Females carry them while they wander, then build a web when the spiderlings are close to emerging.
Thanks for a new addition.
