I've always seen this as part of the happy/feeding dance that Ts sometimes do when they catch their prey. I've yet to see them wrap up their cricket, but have watched them place it on this plate they make for a few moments just to pick it up again and continue the dance.

Most T's do the web/dance thing after capturing a prey item. It is a perfectly normal thing to do.

ines68,
Where did you get your spider. Do you collect your own GBB in the wild?
