I've known locusts to eat other locusts as well, especially if the one being eaten is still soft after a shed. But not to sure about it eating the spider, sounds more likly that it escaped.

I've noticed my locusts sometimes tuck into their dead mates. Though I can't see it trying to eat a live spider. Maybe if the spider had died for some reason?

Ive seen locusts eat a spiders leg off, but never seen it eat the whole thing. Have seen a locust kill a t tho by jumping and piercin the t's abdomen.

they're not known to actively prey on insects though are they?

Don't think so.
Not sure locusts are really equipped to tackle live food

My guess would be that the locust has ate the spider, ive seen a locust eat a spider moult but never a whole spider, but you never know, i dout a spider would have got out the hole that little

its not physicaly possible for a locust to completely devouer a spider twice its size and leave no remains
its the same as a 10 year old eating his dad in one meal
dont be daft
the spider got out and is now living under the telly lol

leave a heat mat in the room it went missing and keep doors shut ect
and it might turn up
