I would hunt for my friend spider. Find an ant, throw it into the net, watch how quickly spider friend descends right to the spot and spins it into a take-out container.
Really only works with live victims. If they died before I threw them on the web, the spiders usually wouldn’t recognize from the vibrations that there was food at that grid location. I did trick a spider once with a pine needle, tapping/shaking the body of the dead prey until I got lucky and the spider came. Usually this didn’t work though, tripping whatever heuristic the spiders used was tricky.
