Grass Spider-Agelenopsis-Feeding: Is this too big?

[sirtito]

Hey peeps, I've got an adult grass spider-Agelenopsis Sp.. Is this Spotted Camel Cricket too big for it to eat? I'm pretty confident my spider can take it down with no problem, but unsure. In terms of size, they're about the same, but the cricket definitely has more mass.
Posting pictures of both.

I’d say it could take it just fine.

Went ahead and tried it. Unfortunately the spider simply ran away from it. I'm going to mark it down as being "too big"

Is the picture of the spider an old picture? Without a web it won’t catch it if so.

If it's hungry and has a web, it'll take down stuff bigger than it. My husband's pet porch agelenid regularly noms on huge camel crickets
Without a web, or if it's just not that hungry, it won't bother.

I also have an agelenopsis. Im going to attempt feeding a small mealworm tonight. It does have a web. Where should i place the meal worm?

Anywhere on the web is fine, just outside the retreat is easy since it's generally flat and the worm won't easily fall off.

The web is upside due to the fact that he started weaving in the lid of the enclosure. I will be moving him to something larger soon. I will be updating on how it goes.
