The entomology is wrong. Larry is the smarter. A spider couldn’t eat a smashed insect. They inject their venom into the victim, wrap it up in their webs, wait for the venom to digest the meal, then suck out the slurry. They can’t eat the exoskeleton.
Lucky it wasn’t a drone..Ever see a small jumping spider grab a fly? It’s cool. The spider creeps forward slowly until it’s a short distance away … then it suddenly has the fly. Faster than the eye can follow! I used to watch this happen on the window sill.
Possible reference to the Pres of the USA song “Dune Buggy”?

Looks like the spider in the car upgraded his web browser, err so to speak.

Don’t web designers work from home in their pajamas? Doesn’t sound too hard to me.

That bug doesn’t have the guts to try that again.

If the insect won’t come to the spider,then the spider must go to the insect.
