Re: I trapped a spider in my office, how long will he live for?
I used to do cruel experiments on insects regularly as a kid. I believe I had spiders trapped that lived considerably longer than a week with no food/water (they did have air).

The spider will die of thirst long before it starves to death. Depending on the kind of spider they can go from days to months without food, and probably from one day to a week or more without water. Your coffee cup is going to be out of commission for a while.

Put him under a glass so you can observe his status without having to pick up the cup and give him a fresh supply of air (if suffocation is what you're going for).

I doubt there is a vacuum seal on the cup/desk boundary. I don't think he will die of suffication.
I say 3-4 weeks without anything to drink. If you had a clear cup/mug, that'd be cool for observation purposes.
