That’s probably what it is looking at the markings. Did you keep it?

Small, like tiny, water drops from a very small spray bottle on the side on the enclosure. Never onto the spider. That size will probably require some flightless fruit flies. Maybe very small cricket legs to scavenge from.

Like @spottedbull showed you. You can buy spray bottles at the dollar store for a buck or less. Any spray water bottle will work. And pin head crickets will be small enough I think. But fruit flies are the best and Petsmart carries them.

That creature is wild! Terrifying and beautiful at the same time. I didn’t even know these existed, thanks for sharing!

I wonder if anyone raises these in captivity?

I wonder the same thing. Though it sounds like breeding them in captivity would necessitate some sacrificial wolf spiders, which might be something of a turn off for most invert breeders.

Mathilde, my G. pulchripes juvenile, recently molted and had her first post-molt meal last night. She’s looking so pretty! And BIG. She wasn’t in a great position to photograph, but this picture shows off how lovely and yellow her knee joints are getting.
And here’s a crummy picture of Delilah, my widow, just because I’m so relieved she finally ate after not taking any prey for over a month. Nice to see her looking so nice and plump! (Pretty sure I’ve figured out why she wasn’t eating, I’m gonna have to rearrange her decor a bit so the feeders can’t hide from her so well.)
