Do any kinds of ladybugs eat small spiders?

Yes almost all ladybugs eat small spiders.I once had a ladybug and it killed a spider!!! (The spider was small).Then once my friend squashed a spider so I caught a ladybug instead and kept it, and you know what? It ate the poor spider. I was actually deciding whether I should bury it but who knows? It ate the spider!From that I started experimenting and if you kill a spider (any spider big or small) the ladybugs still eat them! I think it's because they know whether it is dead or not.So if you put an alive spider inside it has to be small so the ladybug can eat it!
