I don't think insects are capable of trust or lack thereof in the sense you mean. They really just react. I've handled lots of spiders - if they sense they're being attacked/pursued, they will run/jump/bite/whatever. But remember how huge we are to them - we're more like landscape if we're not grabbing at them. If you move slowly and let them climb up, they don't think anything of it. So "trust" in that sense.
Cool cool cool
But the spider in the mouth is kinda being held back. Why doesn't it try to get out by all means necessary?
It was busy laying eggs
For what generally eat spiders, this would seem to them like a pretty safe spot
I guess birds and lizards are the primary predators of spiders?
Probably crawled into it like they do to crevices in the wild. I doubt very much that she shoved it in there.
