Aren't spider webs kind of like glue traps

  No.

  The spider quickly kills the prey. Glue traps don’t.

    They paralyze them and wrap them up till they want to eat them which can be days later.

  I saw a butterfly get stuck to a web once. It immediately started hurling itself violently away, trying to shake itself free. The spider was not immediately in evidence. I managed to take the web off it, but not without tearing off the part of the wing that made contact. I assume that in the butterfly's best-case scenario, that would have happened anyway. It was able to fly afterwards.

    Now try to save a butterfly from a glue trap.
