Best Answer

orb weavers eat any kind of flying insect that gets caught in their web. if you are caring for one i would say just don't put something in there that's too huge.

Spiders in general just eat any kind of insect they can get their fangs on. mealworms, crickets, flies, moths, butterflies, beetles, etc. one thing i don't know is how often they have to eat. I'm almost positive orb weavers don't have to eat every day though. but I'm not sure if you should feed them once a week or every couple of days.
