Many people are not aware that the order Araneae (Spiders) is one of the most diverse orders in the animal kingdom.

Different spiders catch and eat their prey in a variety of ways.

Spiders in the family Agelenidae, for example Tegenaria agrestis (hobo spiders) do actually have teeth, and chew their food.

Many families of spiders inject their digestive juices into their prey. These spiders must first chew a small hole into the prey. They have specialized stomach pumps to suck the prey dry. Spiders in the family Theridiidae, such as Lactrodectus sp. (black widows) are an example of this type of spider.

It is important to note that depending on how the spider feeds, it will leave behind different types of bug corpses. A hobo spider for instance will leave behind a very small ball of what is left that was too tough to chew and digest. Sometimes they will leave behind nothing! Black widows will leave behind a fully intact exoskeleton as they only suck out the inside of prey. They will drop this to the bottom of their web when done eating.

Yes, but they're not like our teeth. They have fangs. They eat smaller animals, like lizards.
