Decided to give her something bigger to eat. An adult male silent cricket. And he was big. Added some pics at the end as I'm sure some won't have seen them yet. And even if you have she's such a stunning spider it's worth seeing them again.

So it

1) Real-time
2) 1/2 speed
3) 1/4 speed
4) 1/8 speed
5) Super duper slo-mo
6) Real-time
7) Real-time

It's so neat how that spider got only the cricket. No substrate at all.

HER name is Sweetheart, TOO! 😜 just joking.
I LOVE, that you call them names of affection. I just say:" Hi there...how are you.." and stuff like that. 😄 Even though my Tegenaria spiders all have/get The same name: Koppe.
That means Spidey in Danish. 🥰

I'm so glad I'm not a cricket! What absolutely beautiful markings your spider has!
I'm quite ignorant regarding spiders, so please pardon me if this sounds stupid. How often do they generally eat? I don't know if some species its every day and others generally eat less often than that.
