[CH] Habanero spiders

I think I have discovered a culprit in my garden.
I was starting to find small holes in my habs, usually two holes close
to the stem, about 1/4 inch or smaller. At first, I thought something
was taking a bite and moving on because I didn't see anything inside
while peering into the hole.

I finally tore one apart and a blonde spider jumped out. Is there a
particular spider that is fond of habs? If so, I wish he'd just move
into one and stay there. Or maybe, I have a spider apartment complex
started. I always thought spiders were the good guys. Do you think he
was just checking out the hole that something else made?
