I just noticed that there are a ton of grub worms in the soil under an oak tree in my front yard. I have a juvenile barn funnel weaver and am not sure if it's ok to put into the tank being my spider is so small do you think he can hand a fairly large grub worm?

If it gets a good bite, your spider is done. If they are the big grubs I’m thinking of.

There not real big but bigger than my spider with some big pinchers I'm not taking the chance but there is a much bigger funnel weaver that lives on the porch, I'm going to try feeding to him and see what comes of it

You can always try and crush the mouthparts on the beetle grubs. I assume they are June beetle grubs or similar right?

I don't know , they are about an inch long light cream with a greenish tint , theyre over if you crush their head or anything, I tried it and there was absolutely no movement afterwards I tossed it. I might break just one of the pinchers
