jumping spider family (Salticidae
A spider that has a brick colored heart-shaped marking surrounded by white on its back and lives on the ground might be an orb spider or a white tail spider. This spider might also be a common garden spider found in much of the U.S.
It sounds like you may have encountered a jumping spider. Jumping spiders are known for their small size and ability to leap short distances. Their distinctive markings can include white spots on a black body. They are harmless to humans and are considered beneficial because they help control insect populations.
Are you sure the eggs were laid by a spider? If not, garden slugs lay their round eggs in soft ground to mud. They are white in color and are opaque to translucent. Unfortunately, they lay so many eggs (one is too many in my opinion) and the eggs are slimy, they form small clusters of white round eggs.
The spider you are describing is likely a black widow spider (Latrodectus mactans). Female black widows have a distinctive red hourglass shape on their abdomen rather than a white heart shape, however. It's always best to exercise caution around any unfamiliar spider species.
A snowdrop spider is a small, black spider that has a distinctive white or pale marking on its abdomen resembling a snowdrop flower. It is also known as the "ghost spider" due to its appearance.

Black widow
Yes, I have encountered a small white spider on plants before.
The distinguishing features of a small brown spider with white spots on its back are its small size, brown coloration, and white spots that are visible on its back.
The worst kind.
Likely the Daring (Bold) Jumping Spider
I love riddles!! What kind? i have caught a spider with those exact same markings... the white "spot" on top of it's abdomen looks more like a white heart, and i found this spider in my yard in Sacramento, CA.... from what i have learned this spider is a Daring (or Bold) Jumping Spider... harmless and non aggressive supossedly...
either its a new spider species, or its just a make believe spider!!
Have seen a very small spider with 4 white dots and 1 red dot. Not a red back. Ta ~Snaff
A small brown spider with a white back may have distinctive markings that set it apart from other spiders. These markings could include a white stripe or pattern on its back, which contrasts with its brown body. This feature helps to identify and distinguish this particular spider species from others.

It's most likely the common "Daring jumping spider," Phidippus audax. It's completely harmless.
