Tiny spider on lemon leaf. I'm guessing some kind of jumping spider. (?) And could these be her eggs in the second image?

Not her eggs she lays her eggs in a sac within a curled up leaf. These look like eggs of a bug, perhaps old eggs of the Bronze Orange Bug, which is common on citrus

Thanks, Michael. Yes, we certainly do get lots of Bronze Orange Bugs on our lemon tree during the warmer months. However, I did notice a curled up leaf with something inside, not too far away from the spider.
