a big hairy spider and little red dots on my plants

[an11dy9]

i have some plants growin up in m y attic until they are ready to go outside, which they are... the only prolblem is that when i checked on them today they have a big hairy spider the size of a nickle that has webs laced around from plant to plant and little red bugs, i think they are baby spiders that are so small that you can barely see them all over the place... my question is, is this spider and its babies harmful to my plant and if so what can i do to get rid of them? is there some kind of repelent i can use on such young plants or shouldi just leave them... they may even be in the soil... PLEASE HELP

Aside from it biting you, it can't do any harm. I'd just leave it alone, it might kill some of the bad bugs that would eat your plant.

The bigger and badder looking - the better. He's a bugitarian! It's the little harmless looking ones that hurt plants....

But yeah....be careful she doesn't bite you!
