Default OT - spiders coming indoors. What do they eat?

It is the time of year that the new crop of tiny spiders makes its way
indoors.

We have quite a few in the bathroom, and some seem to be bigger every day
but without any sign of dried up corpses either in the webs or underneath.

Firstly, what does a spider the size of a pinhead eat? It must be
something very small indeed.

Secondly, what do they eat as they get bigger? Before they graduate to
visible flying insects that is.

I have a suspicion that the most obvious available food (that is, each
other) may be the main source but where do they hide the remains?

I always understood that spiders do no grow in size.
