In fact, the book mentions something about Shelob finally devouring HERSELF because she was so hungry. But it didn't come into this "tale", as the book refers to itself, because it concerns another age (Fo.A., most likely) and is not written in Frodo's summary of the end of the Third Age.

But, anyway, the answer to your question is in the book, when it says that it is thought that Shelob devoured (Will devour? I dunno) herself after a long, long time (An Ent's long time) of having no food. This would be sometime after Sam stabs her, but before he finds the secret door in the tunnel. Probably. And so therefore I disagree with agreeing with both of you agreeing to disagree with each other and disagreeing to agree with each other because I can't stand any more confusing language, while still disagreeing with both of you in the case of your stories. To any who reads this: Confused yet?
