Spiders use venom to kill or paralyze their prey. The venom is transported through a duct in the fangs. Then, digestive enzymes are regurgitated to liquefy prey externally. Spiders do not eat solid food, so what they eat are the juices (yucky!!) They either crush their "soft" prey using their chelicerae (the spider's mouth where the fangs are located) or they wrapped it in spider silk (where the prey dies.)

Spiders pierce their victims with their fangs and inject enzymes (we call it poison) into their victim which immediately begins to break down the victim's tissue into a liquid state. The spider then SUCKs the liquid out. Spiders don't need to chew.

Nope they don't have teeth. When they get their prey, they secrete digestive juices which liquefies their prey and the spiders jst suck it up. They don't eat, they drink. Lol
No teeth required!

They spin a cacoon around their pray and let it sit. When they decide to eat it they poke a hole in the cacoon and suck out the insects insides. Then they swallow it and have a nice day.

They inject enzymes that break down tissue, and they SUCK the juices out!

Spiders secrete digestive juices, which melt their meal, then suck it up.
