234-502: The edible insects that walked on her burrow's trapdoor-like silk roof. As Number 16 became older, Main and her researchers developed a tradition of always checking her burrow first. For her 40th birthday, research assistant Leanda Mason wanted to give the spider a mealworm, but Main denied the request since it would interfere with the study.
