Best way to feed arboreal?

I recently got an Avicularia minitrix but don’t know how to feed it without destroying the web. It’s very skittish and will run to the bottom of its web when ever I open the enclosure. Any suggestions?

We have several arboreals & feed them in exactly the same way we do all the others. We simply pop a cricket in.

If we do anything different with arboreals, it's simply to stop us damaging their webs, when we take the lid off.
