Red, who made an egg but who keeps making small webs each night, seems hungry. Nothing is ending up in her web. I tried tossing 2 week and 3 week crickets into her web but they wouldnt stick. Cant find any flying bugs for her. Any suggestions? Thank you.—still traumatized by Charlottes Web

 
Have been putting bugs in her web for a few days...moths and crickets.  She looks healthy and pleased. 

Also just returned a little orange weaver to the trash can. I didnt want her to be crushed by trash pickup so twice i have i kidnapped her overnight and returned her the next night. She probably can tell other spiders about bright lights and an alien abduction. Luckily, no anal probes. :)
