Betta eats a spider?? x'D

Here's my beautiful betta. My son named him Goldie. This morning I went in to check on him and noticed he was investigating/pecking at something on the gravel. I was shocked to see it was a spider! A drowned spider and its abdomen looked crushed. I quickly took it out so my betta wouldn't get hurt.

Has something like this happened to anyone else? Maybe I'll call him my guard fish now.

My Betta has eaten a lady bug before.

In captivity, this comes in the form of FLUVAL BUG BITES.

I once left my window open all day, til like bedtime at 10, and there were SO many gnats and moths in my tanks. I woke up the next morning and they’d all been eaten. The fish had a nice snack that day
