Spider sac (and spider) on tomato plant

Franklin, MI

Hi, I'm brand new here - so happy to have found this site! You all seem like such a nice community. This is a pic of a spider egg sac on one of my tomato plants, will the spiders be detrimental to the plant or are they benign? The spider got away... Thanks ~ Carolyn

i would actually place that back in the garden if i were you, if you are absolutely certain that it was indeed a spider, as those are the good guys that you want to keep around your plants :)

Im with jcm put it back in the garden. Spiders are beneficial to your garden, they sure won't hurt your plant.

Oh dear, too late... next time I'll know better! I'm trying a new technique this year for my veggies. I'm growing everything in grow bags and things are doing GREAT, but I'm feeling a bit over- protective so the spider egg sac was destroyed. The spider is alive and well, however. Thanks~
