That should last him about a month!
Having already paralysed the insect, when I took this picture the spider was rolling the insect over and over, encasing it in silk. Hence the position of the legs and its butt. Next job would be to inject with venom (?) again to liquify the insides prior to eating it and cutting it free. Both insects were gone and the web repaired about four hours later.
 
Some recent spider pics from my garden. Not sure of the species (poss Four Spot Orb Weaver?), not that it's important, the fun bit is finding them and playing around taking the pictures. These taken with my Sony HX50 and its pop up flash with a DIY diffuser made from a LED lightbulb.
