We numerically integrate the motion of a spinning test body in the field of a nonspinning black hole and analyze it using various methods. We show for the first time that resonances and chaos can be found even for astrophysically relevant values of the spin of the test body. On the other hand, we devise a method to analyze the growth of the resonances, and we conclude that the prolonged resonances we observe are only caused by terms quadratic in spin and will generally stay very small in the small-mass-ratio limit. Last but not least, we compute gravitational waveforms by numerically solving the Teukolsky equations in the time-domain and establish that they carry information on the motion's dynamics. In particular, we show that the time series of the gravitational wave strain can be used to discern regular from chaotic motion of the source.
