Sure! Spiders are probably taking a small amount of nutrition away from the plant, while potentially eating some nasty critters like aphids. Excrement is also often easier for plants to process.

Once a mama spider had her babies in one of my plant's old pitchers. I figured I'd leave her there since it was an old pitcher. But, I'm sure the plant doesn't mind.
