Comments & ID Thoughts

I found this poor critter in my cup of apple cider scrambling frantically. Any guesses? I know little about identifying spiders so I tried googling “white body” and it doesn’t look like there are many spiders with all-white bodies... though you can see a line that may/may not be on the inside so it could just be an egg sac (even though I didn’t think it looked spherical enough compared to the other egg sac pictures, and more like a regularly shaped abdomen?).

P.S. I hope I didn’t take a blind sip, not realizing he/she was in there!
