Default possible sling food?

ill be getting my Salmon pink sling next week fingers crossed already got a little pot ready for ti which i will get a pic of later, anyway there is a weed at the bottom garden which is infested with these strange black aphids (if anyone knows what they are please do tell me) would they be ok to feed to a spiderling as a free alternative to say maggots or micro crickets?

cheers

As long as you're 100% sure no sprays are ever used.

These look like Black Fly, a form of aphid. They don't move much and therefore its unlikely your tarantula will see them! At the size you suggest you might be better getting some pin-head crickets or maggots.
