I recently got my hands on a brown widow I found at work. I also found 3 of her eggsacs...I placed all of them in a ventilated tub along with debris for her upcoming web. Ive heard of them taking down some pretty large prey so I placed a dragonfly inside. She didnt want anything to do with it. A couple days later, there's another eggsac and babies in her web. Today, I placed a smaller incect inside and she took it down AND shes been showing the now dead dragonfly a lot of attention. Not really sure if she's eating off of it. Can the babies feed off of the insects I put in the tub? Or do they HAVE to be up to size for them?
