Im rather new to gardening so Im not used to bug identification yet. I would think that for the most part spiders would be good (yes that is SO hard to admit spiders could be good for anything, yucky!) for plants because they eat alot of bugs. But can they too damage your plants? My one shade bed is covered in these thin webs with an almost tunnal like hole in the web. I only took pictures of the most obvious ones but several of my plants have a giant web under them. Also wondering if anyone knows what kind of spider makes that web and if they are poisoness. Any help would be great. I normally like natural methods for taking care of problems but if the spiders are going to be an issue I will probably spray the whole flower bed. Thanks for any help :)
P.S. I live in northern MN.
