If they only swallow spiders that are 0.1 mg, they would consume 6400 tons of spiders every year

If they only consume spiders that are 175 g, they would swallow 11.2 billion tons of spiders every year

8 per night? Good Lord no, it's 8 PER HOUR. They're literally lining up to jump into your mouth. Check your toothbrush for legs and silk. Usually a sore throat just means one bit you on the way down.
