Spider mites or just spiders?

Every morning there will be a few cob webs between my orchids that are grouped together, along with a small spider in the web. I will squish the spider and dismantle the webs. Is this just a regular spider?

It has been suggested on here to wipe the top and undersides of the leaves with a paper towel to catch the spider mites? When I wipe the leaves I find nothing. Maybe I just have regular small spiders, not spider mites? I have about 1-2 spiders I find a day. The spider is light tan, about the size of a pinhead.

Thanks for your help,
Carol
