This is different depending on the species and type of spider. The general tarantula, like most Spiders, attack their prey. They inject venom which not only paralyses the prey but also turns their insides into a liquid. This is done because spiders do not actually have teeth but instead mouth holes. They can then suck out the liquid leaving behind the shell, however, shells have also been known to be digested in the process.
