Default Spiders on my bushes

In article ,
says...

Don't kill the spiders on your bushes, they're probably the only thing
keeping the insects down from the bushes. Spiders aren't much affected by
insecticide anyway. Spiders aren't herbivores and they don't like plants.
Outdoor spiders won't come inside, and if they do the inside spiders will
get them if they don't dehydrate and die first.

I used to hate them with a passion, having gone into hand to hand combat
with them last winter in the basement I have since learned once they are
gone the REAL pests move in.



Yeah, I used the sewing pin as a lance, and charged the spider,
fighting over the bread crumb.

(Extra points for recognising that...)
