Web-spinning Spiders will wrap their prey in a web and then crush its body with their teeth. They then pour digestive juice over the body and liquefy it. ... They help to hold prey while the spider bites it.

How do black widow spiders eat there food?

Like many other spiders, the jaw parts of black widow spiders are too small and delicate to chew up their prey. So these spiders pump digestive juices into the bodies of their prey. After a while, the digestive fluids will have liquified all the digestible content inside the prey's exoskelaton, and then the spider sucks the fluid back into its own body. Some other kinds of spiders have more robust chelicerae (the parts that are terminated by the fangs), and they have tooth-like protrusions on them. These spiders use their chelicerae to chew up the bodies of prey, adding digestive juices in the process, and so they are able to get nutrition from parts of the prey bodies that black widows can't get at.


How do spiders eat if they cannot chew?

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.


Does a trapdoor spider spin a web?

Sort of. The Sydney Tunneling Spider spins a web inside the ground, and after it digs its hole, it spins a lid for the hole, and camoflages it. When prey comes around, it would step on the web, sendng vibrations which the spider feels, and quickly goes to the surface to paralyze its prey and suck the juices out of the prey!!! LOL, i like studying spiders.


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.


How do spiders get the nutrients they need?

After trapping and killing their prey, Arachnids cover 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. YUM!
