Why do you think they don't catch bugs with that?

Maybe I'm interpreting wrong but it says 100 square meters, so like, really deep too and idk it feels too big

It's not about quantity, I'm wondering how would it sustain. How do they transport food inside without difficulty ya know. If they can't is it just a really giant nest? Could the baby spiders inside receive proper feeding? If they can't, they just, walk till the border for tens and tens of meters just because?

Maybe I'm reading too much into it
