"OK listen." Said the spider "I know how we can raise they money we need to save our lovely home. Humans love to play games. We can make a game and they will line up to play it. We just need to work together!"
"Will we need to get the ants involved?"
"I'm afraid so, we need the architecture skills of those girls. But I know how to work with ants. We can do this."
"Won't the coins be too heavy for us to carry?"
"I have a plan for that too!" The spider was very confident.
It is sad... but it also makes me imagine an... organic video game... think pacman in moss with little bugs playing all of the roles of the video game sprites. You give them water and cake crumbs to pay for the game and they run around in response to the vibrations from the controls which are threaded with spider webs so they know what to do.
Could be a good for the back yard "economy" to start such a venue.
