A cluster of spider egg sacs

I noticed this ironwood leaf hanging from the bark of an ironwood tree and reckoned there was something inside, perhaps a moth cocoon. I was interested to see, instead, this cluster of tiny spider egg sacs, perhaps 1-2 mm each, and many minute spiderlings clambering around the leaf, too small to discern anything except that they were spiders. I've no idea of the species that made these sacs.

Very detailed macro and love it in sepia. I've often wondered how big baby spiders were. Your commentary answers that question. V.
