Where in the body of a spider is venom produced?

spiders is a very broad topic, but the following holds true for many, including tarantulas. 1st, they inject venom (a serotonin inhibitor) into the circulatory system. then they inject digestive juices. finally they suck out the parts that will liquify -- the soft tissues. it gives a whole new meaning to liquid lunch.

Can you die if you eat a black widow?

Usually, the venom within the spider is only toxic to humans and other animals when it is injected in the bloodstream. If you were to try to eat a living black widow spider it might easily bite you while you were trying to chew it. If you just ate the dead body, your digestive system would deal with the venom. The venom does not act as a poison, a toxin that is absorbed through the digestive system. However, I wouldn't recommend eating one. For one thing, if you had an ulcer the venom might enter the blood system by that route.


How does a spider use its body parts to get its food?

Spiders hold their prey with their legs. Spiders inject venom to paralyze their prey with their fangs. Spiders regurgitate fluid from their stomach's onto the prey and the fluid breaks down the nutrients which flow into the spider through its mouth. (We humans have internal processes for getting nutrients from food, spiders have external processes.

How much blood can a spider drink?

That would depend on the size of the spider. Spiders do not actually drink blood, they capture their prey then inject it with venom from their fangs. This venom paralyses and kills their prey BUT it also contains digestive enzymes that turn the inside body parts of their prey into a sort of soup. The spider then inserts a sucker and drinks the soup leaving the outside (normally an insect exoskeleton) of the prey as an empty husk.


What does a brizilian spider look like?

Maybe you mean the "Brazilian Wandering Spider," which has very toxic venom. Their body length is about 2" and they are fairly drab in color. You can get a picture by Googling for "Phoneutria." There are probably tens of thousands of spider species in Brazil, so if the "armed spider" (as in weapon-carrying) isn't what you mean, then there are all different "looks" for them.
