After trapping and killing their prey, Arachnids cover the victim with digestive juices regurgitated from their stomachs, which quickly converts the prey item into something similar to a high protein shake. Aside from simply dissolving the victim, this predigesting process also kills any parasites that may have been living in or on the prey item.

Once dinner has reached the proper viscosity, the arachnid then sucks the slurry through the mouth and on into the esophagus and stomach. YUM!

Predatory arachnids don't need teeth to obtain nutrients from their prey. They pour digestive juices over their prey, resulting in the prey being digested outside of the predator's body. The arachnid then sucks up the liquified nutrients.

Most Spiders spins a web between 2 objects creating a sticky net to catch insects as they fly by. Once a insect is stuck then the spider spins it into a cocoon, then eats it later.
