(Well other than the designer needs to be committed to an asylum!), the main design flaw is spiders will get bored with having to compete for their food, especially after having put in all the hard work in catching lunch. (As they already have to compete with others of their own kind stealing their food I'm sure they are well versed is judging when to give up in competitive food battles). Plus it would be kind of scary for a spider to have a (relatively huge) arm moving nearby. If I was a spider, I would setup home on that nice looking camera support post. That looks like prime spider real estate. :) Just one problem.
