Couldn't tell you about all spiders, but some survive by eating their mothers.

Here's a few UK spiders and some interesting maternal antics.

I think that spiders are quite independant to eat flies as soon as they are born. They might get watched over but can eat straight away.
I just read Cetti's posting and I was right, most spiders are independant as soon as they are born, exept the odd one that feeds them.
