Traps to catch spiders are only good when long in game. Making a trap uses a lot of grass - which is renewable, but can't be mass collected at start of the game fast.

When at start or middle of the game, it is much better to clear the Level 3 den with a SPEAR instead. At day (and only at day)  step on the web, wait for 3 normal spiders to come out, stay near - and then lure them (important) just one screen away. Kill them attacking one spider at time (only when 1 screen away). Come back and repeat. After just 3 runs - the Den is EMPTY from spiders for you to smash - and no "spider warriors" ever spawn. Just don't attack spiders near the Den and don't attack non-empty Den.

However, 1 spear requires 1 flint and its better to have log armor just for security reasons. Its also much better to do this at any season, except winter. At dawn all spiders leave at once, and they can easily aggro, so dealing with more than 5 of them at a time is dangerous.
