    Just noticed these little guys on one of my plants. Due to growing this one in my basement, I have spiders that routinely stick around to feast on gnats but I've never seen it quite like this before.

    Sorry about the quality, about as good as my phone can do. What you're looking at is a string (Web I guess) of eggs (The visibly round objects) and whatever those white things are, I'm assuming they're dead gnats in coccoons and under the leaf are 10+ tiny spiders. The darker tiny dots are spider mites.

    I'm fairly sure they're harmless, but I just wanted to double check and I'm wonderering why the hell they're so concentrated right there. Normally you'd spot one or two spiders in the plants but nothing like that. I'm hoping they're killing the mites too. Mainly I just wanna check and make sure they're not spiders that are gonna cause me, personally, any problems, like say venemous spiders.
