YES.
The spider invited the fly into its web under the pretense of offering shelter or hospitality. However, the true intention was to capture and consume the fly as prey.
The garden spider typically takes about 30 minutes to several hours to complete a meal, depending on the size of its prey. After capturing a meal in its web, the spider immobilizes it with venom and then begins to consume it. Smaller prey can be eaten more quickly, while larger prey may take longer to digest and consume.

The male purse spider will seek out a female spider. After mating they will live in her tunnel until his death. She will consume him and make an egg sac that is hung in the burrow. The eggs do not hatch until the next summer, and the baby spiders will not leave their mother's burrow until the following spring.
Spider crabs are omnivores, meaning they consume both plant and animal matter. Their diet typically consists of algae, small fish, mollusks, and other crustaceans. They are known to scavenge for food on the ocean floor using their specialized feeding appendages.
Spider mites are preyed upon by various natural predators, including ladybugs, predatory mites, lacewing larvae, and certain species of thrips. These beneficial insects help control spider mite populations in gardens and agricultural settings. Additionally, some birds and small mammals may consume spider mites as part of their diet. Utilizing these natural predators can be an effective method for managing spider mite infestations.
The European garden spider, also known as Araneus diadematus, primarily feeds on insects. Its diet includes a variety of prey such as flies, moths, beetles, and other small insects that become ensnared in its silk web. By using its web to trap these insects, the spider can efficiently capture and consume them for nourishment. This spider plays a vital role in controlling insect populations in its habitat.
No, the Japanese spider crab is not a herbivore; it is primarily a scavenger and an omnivore. Its diet consists mainly of detritus, small fish, mollusks, and other marine animals. While it may occasionally consume plant material, it does not primarily feed on plants.
Many spider species exhibit cannibalistic behavior, and some will even consume their own offspring if given the chance. This behavior is more common in species that have limited resources or are under stress, and it can be a way for the parent spider to ensure its own survival. However, cannibalism within a species can also help regulate population sizes and prevent overexploitation of resources.
They don’t simply consume scorpions; they also devour spiders, snakes, and a variety of other insects as well as spider eggs. While they mostly consume insects, they will not hesitate to scavenge for white-footed mice, voles, and kangaroo rats if the opportunity presents itself.
