Will a large black spider eat the spider mites in my garden?
Spiders generally eat things that are about their own size or somewhat smaller. If the potential prey is too large then it might fight back and injure or kill the spider. If the potential prey is much smaller than the spider then the spider may be unable to catch it. Spiders do not have hands. Imagine trying to catch baby chicks in a field while wearing boxing gloves. You couldn't catch anything that small, but you might get your arms around a fairly small dog. Lady Bugs are the right size to eat such small prey items. Also, there are some predatory mites and thrips that eat mites.

Will wolf spiders eat brown recluse spiders?
Wolf spiders and praying mantises eat each other. If one is bigger than the other, and is hungry, the larger of the two will likely eat the smaller. If they are both about the same size, it depends who sees who first, and who is hungrier. In the northeast U.S., large wolf spiders and large Chinese mantises compete for food all the time, and only the adult female Chinese mantises can overpower and eat adult wolf spiders. Usually the mantis can avoid being bitten by using the dexterity of it's forelegs to re-position it in such a way that the spider's fangs cannot reach any part of the mantis. The mantis then slowly will eat the spider alive. But if the spider is on the hunt, and sneaks up behind a mantis that is not paying attention, one quick bite would probably be enough to subdue the mantis. This has been studied extensively in northeast U.S. meadows, where both large wolf spiders and large praying mantises live. Look at the book "The Praying Mantids" by Dr. Frederick Prete. It's very technical, but the info is there. It's a bug-eat-bug world out there.
