White spiders?

Hey guys.

I have an outdoor grow this year. I noticed some white spiders on my plants. I found 5 spiders in total. At first I assumed spider mites, however they seem a little too big for a spider mite. They are easily visible to the naked eye, and are around 3mm big. Around the size of a ladybug.

Some of the plants have holes in them, but appears more like a chomping type insect (Caterpillar)

I sprinkled the plants with Derris root dust 3 days ago when I thought I had a Caterpillar or something having a nibble. Should I spray with neem oil as a preventative measure in case these little spiders are infact mites?

I can get pictures if it makes identification easier.

Also aside from the few holes here and there the plants appear very healthy. I can not see anywhere that would indicate spider mites having a suck on my babies.

Those sound like predatory spiders, wich means they are there because there is some other bug they eat close.
