They don't have mouths so there fangs sink into their pray releasing a paralysis poison into the body. Then later when it wants to eat it it releases another poison into its prey which liquefies its organs which are then sucked up through fangs and into the stomach.

When a bug catches another bug in its web, they bite the other insect, and inject venom into the other insect. The venom turns the bugs insides into liquid.

No, Spiders do not chew their food. Instead, they inject digestive enzymes into their prey to break down the tissues and then suck up the liquid remains.

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.


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.

Do Spiders and Grasshoppers have chewing teeth?

Many people are not aware that the order Araneae (spiders) is one of the most diverse orders in the animal kingdom. Different spiders catch and eat their prey in a variety of ways. Spiders in the family Agelenidae, for example Tegenaria agrestis (hobo spiders) do actually have teeth, and chew their food. Many families of spiders inject their digestive juices into their prey. These spiders must first chew a small hole into the prey. They have specialized stomach pumps to suck the prey dry. Spiders in the family Theridiidae, such as Lactrodectus sp. (black widows) are an example of this type of spider. It is important to note that depending on how the spider feeds, it will leave behind different types of bug corpses. A hobo spider for instance will leave behind a very small ball of what is left that was too tough to chew and digest. Sometimes they will leave behind nothing! Black widows will leave behind a fully intact exoskeleton as they only suck out the inside of prey. They will drop this to the bottom of their web when done eating.
