Best Answer

As far as I know, the answer to this question depends on the type of spider you are referring to. Some Spiders can eat solids. So, they simply bite and chew. While other spiders can not eat solids. These spiders will inject their prey with venom, and the venom liquefies the insect's insides. The spider will then essentially "drink" it's food.
