Gorbelly, for what it's worth, I have seen a few spider mites in my potted basil and on the tomatoes some really tiny black things that look kind of like gnats. They're on all my tomato plants but there don't seem to be too many per plant. I've been squishing them. I hope they're nothing to be concerned about, as my other tomato plants all seem really healthy.
I also have plenty of spiders.
Carpenter ants did kill a tree about ten feet away last year, and I have to admit I'm not crazy about seeing them around so much just in general. But I haven't seen them on my actual plants, just having fun making a mess in my potting soil by crawling through the drainage holes.
The leaf roll is mostly limited to the bottom of the plant. The new growth is a little curly but it's green and healthy, which I suspect is a little more consistent with a excess nitrogen. Although the weather has been really hot, too. Hopefully the plant will be all right. Overall it doesn't look bad.
