I seriously doubt they are making any dent in our insect population so I wouldn't worry. You have to remember that the warmer weather (   ) which is allowing the spider to expand its habitat also has the same effect for its insect prey - some species are suffering a boost in the same way as the spider, so in the end it'll balance out.

What always bugs me about this is the fact this spider which is very common in southern europe and eastwars towards Georgia has to suffer some very cold european winters. Infact some would agrue our winters on average are greatly milder then the winters of this spiders native lands.
