Sac spiders drink nectar. Baby orb weavers eat pollen caught on their webs.

I wonder how much more often this happens in nature, but is not seen since we "know" they don't consume plant material

There is a mention in one of the Bagheera Kiplingi papers or articles that some of the spiders of the genus Misumenoides (might be formospes sp?) drink nectar as well.

The only spider in the world that is known to be ~90% vegetarian is Bagheera Kiplingi in Mexico's Acacia tress.

It's cool to see there are more spiders that use other re-sources around them.
