What is this little guy on my arbol plant?

Just curious if it's a harmless insect, or something I should be concerned about. Since, to me, it doesn't look like any of the critters found in the pest guide. Thanks!

Looks like a spider of some sort. If so it's friendly.

looks like a predator not a herbivore. Looks like a good guy to me.
