I found 3 different beneficials in my peppers
yesterday:  tiny ladybugs, baby praying
mantises and a spider.  The ladybugs were
small but unmistakable.  The mantises were
about half an inch long, and I had to look real
close to be sure.  The spider was on the 
seedlings still inside.  I know about the wasps
that are good, but I had not heard of a particular
spider being beneficial.  It was about 3/8 inch
long and hopped from one plant to the next
leaping 3 to 4 inches at a time.  It was sitting 
on a leaf, merrily munching on an aphid.  One
houseguest I'll gladly put up with.
