Keeping a spider on my plant, good or bad???

[Delta.9]

There is a small spider that has made a nice home out of my outdoor plant. It doesn't bother me considering he has been eating a bunch of small flies/gnats that he caught in his web, but I was wondering if it is more harmful or beneficial to let him stay there. Especially once it starts flowering...

Anyone have any opinions on this one?

Thanks in advance!

definitly a benefit having a spider on your plant kill pests and doesnt harm the plant

I move spiders into my greenhouse. Just love the little buggers. It so so much fun to watch them get fat and happy on evil plant suckers!

I've actually relocated 4-5 spiders to the fence around my cannatoe gerden, and the only problem I have now is those DAMN caterpillars.! :wtf:
