Orchard weavers keeping

[CRX]

Has anyone kept these? We have 4 of them in my backyard, really beautiful spiders with equally beautiful web design. They seem to stay pretty small, if someone had like a 4 foot by 4 foot window enclosure with some airflow, shouldn't be too hard to keep. But thats more effort than im willing to do but Im curious if anyone else has tried. Very cool little spiders.

name: Leucauge venusta

Not sure there’s a few based on Orbweavers but not your species

Orbweavers as pets?

Can it be done? Has anyone done it? How do you do it? I'm thinking I'd like to try, but not without a good idea about what I will need to provide them with. How much space (I know they'll need a lot), what to eat, environmental necessities. How about Argiope aurantia specifically? Or Araneus...
