I was searching for pests tonight and found the guy below. Does this mean I should be worried about pests that he's feeding on or is it a good thing because he'll eat any potential invaders? I left him in there but now I'm not sure what it means that he's there.

In my greenhouse I never kill any spiders, or toads. - Millet (1,232-)

fofoca, that's a very nice way to look at it.

Millet, toads? How do they get in there? Do they benefit the plants in a way other than eating bugs?

I feel the same way about the spider because I know he's not going to hurt the plants, I was just hoping it wasn't a sign of a problem.
