Brown widows egg sacs, resemble a sandspur, having pointed projections all over, and they are sometimes described as "tufted", "fluffy, or "spiky", in appearance. The egg sac of the brown widow spider, is round and yellow, with many little spikes sticking out from the surface, looking like a big pollen grain. The egg sacs are spherical in shape, but instead of being smooth, they're covered in tiny spikes. The egg sacs are a creamy-tan color. What makes them unique, is the many "spikes" that appear on the egg sacs. These are the egg sacs, of the brown widow spider.
The egg sacs of a brown widow is very different from other widow eggs. The brown widow eggs are spiky and white, while the other widows (Black, red) are smooth and tan. http://sarasota.ifas.ufl.edu/IPM/BrownWidow.shtml
Looks like black widow egg sacs to me.
