  1. birds, snakes, frogs, bats, fish much more.  It depends on what species of spider.  

    frogs eat a lot of species, but they're some speices of spiders that will eat small fish and frogs.

    The Goliath Bird Eating spider eats, well, birds in their nests.


  2. Birds for one.

  3. Scorpions.  

    Wasps will lay their eggs on (in?) spiders and paralyze them, so the larvae eat the spider while it is still alive.

  4. Mud daubers.

    Mud daubers stuff their mud nests with spiders for their young to feed on.

  5. scorpions, birds, bats, frogs, certain plants, bigger spiders, wasps, small pets (but, don't let them), fish, rats (they're different), and praying mantises

  6. other spiders, birds, dogs, cats anything bigger can eat them before they are bitten if they are actually bitten.

  7. Birds

  8. Cellar spiders are famous for being both harmless to humans and a fierce competitor of other types of spider- in fact, it easily kills most other types, even if they are bigger!

    House centipedes (and regular centipedes, for that matter) eat anything its capable of killing, including spiders. Same with praying mantis.

    Many small mamalls, birds and lizards also snack on spiders.

    Wasp/spider fights are interesting to watch. Its like pitting knights and bishops in chess, and its usually a toss up who will win... But depends heavily on the setting, just like in chess :)
