- There are over 4,000 species of spiders in North America. All spiders feed only on insects and other small arthropods. Therefore, where there are spiders, there are other insects. Young spiders know as spiderlings, emerge from their eggs and scatter. Many spiders disperse by “ballooning.” This occurs when spiders produce silken threads that are caught by the wind and carry eggs on the wind.

This spider, found in Central America and Mexico, is the only one known to prefer eating plants over animals or other insects. It loves eating the tips of the acacia plant, which has no natural defense against predators. Because of this, the spider isn’t the only creature that eats the plant—some ants do too.

Also, if the spider changes it's mind and doesn't feel like eating after killing the prey, it just makes a silk cocoon for it and stores it for later. Interesting. A silky coffin.

What Spiders Eat Their usual food is insects and other spiders but some of the larger species have been seen to eat other small animals such as millipedes, wood lice (slaters), and even small lizards, frogs, and birds.ut one kind of food that spiders normally do not eat is plant material. The reason for this is that they have to liquify their food before they can ingest it and are no more able to digest the cellulose of plants than we are.

What Do Tarantulas Eat? Tarantulas are carnivores. They eat all kinds of insects, especially larger ones like crickets and grasshoppers, June beetles, cicadas, and caterpillars. Larger tarantulas will also eat frogs, toads, and small rodents like mice. A South American species, the Goliath birdeater, is known to eat small birds as well, although these make up only a small part of their diet. Like other spiders, tarantulas can't eat their prey in solid form. When a tarantula captures a live meal, it first bites the prey with its sharp fangs, injecting it with a paralyzing venom. Once the prey is immobilized, the tarantula secretes digestive enzymes that turn the victim's body into soup.
