LOL how about an Eveglades spider on your tomato plant in
Connecticut.

An email friend sent me some seeds from her garden for
"Wild Everglade Tomatoes" I started them in the winter and in
the summer planted them outside. I walked by one of the plants
during that summer and something bright caugh my eye.
I looked again and on the leaves was a brightly colored spider
with red, black and white. I did a seach and found it was an
Everglades spider. I can't remember the name of it now.
So I think the seeds had a spider egg on it.
