    spiders don't eat plants!

    I don't mind them when they are babies but not a fan of grown up ones :rotfl:

    If you want to live and thrive, let the spider run alive!

    The spiders eat other pests so best let them alone :)

    Leave them be, they will help catch aphids etc in their webs. Spiders are all goodies in the UK.

    Yeah they grow into the brown ones with the cross pattern on the back. Google image 'garden spider' if you feel up to it. I won't though. *shudder*
