Spiders have blue blood. In human blood oxygen is bound to hemoglobin which contains iron, giving it the blood a red color. In Spiders, as well as other Arthropods and Molluscs, oxygen is bound to hemocyanin which contains copper, giving its blood a blue color.

The same interaction that causes oxygenated blood to color, also causes iron rust to appear reddish and the oxidized copper to appear green.

However, I have noticed no color in spider blood before.

Spider blood is usually blue due to the presence of the copper-based molecule hemocyanin, which helps transport oxygen throughout their bodies. Hemocyanin turns blue when it binds with oxygen, giving spider blood its distinctive color.


What do spiders use to suck blood?

Spiders eat most of an insect. Some spiders are capable of chewing up the entire body of whatever it has caught, flooding the chewed up mass with digestive fluid, and then sucking up the digested food. Other spiders are not capable of chewing up the exoskeleton of a prey item, so they inject digestive fluids into the body, let the contents of the exoskeleton digest, and then suck that up.
