After trapping and killing their prey, Arachnids cover or sometimes inject 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.

What if plants never existed?

Plants are the basis of all living things. Animals like humans and cows, as well as bacteria need plants to live.

Even those at the top of the food chain (apex-predators) sometimes obtain nutrients directly from plants. Bacteria need to go through nitrogen fixation.Also, plants provide oxygen, which many organism need to live; without it, many species would perish and die at an alarming rate.So basically, Earth would go back to its simplest form, where only the slightest of organisms existed.
