Many female Spiders eat their counterparts following sexual activity and before eggs are laid to prevent the male from eating his offspring.
Other spiders that consume large insects will eat other appropriately sized spiders.
Specifically there are species that exclusively consume other spiders as their regular diet such as the Portia jumping spider, which is perhaps the smartest spider.
