All spiders are predators. They do not eat plants, but only other living animals. Insects, spiders, invertebrates, some small vertebrates are the typical prey items. Spiders use venom to kill or paralyze their prey. Venom is transported through a duct in the fangs. Digestive enzymes are regurgitated to liquefy prey externally. No solid food is eaten. Prey may be crushed by the chelicerae or wrapped.

They eat insects such as flies by trapping them in spider webs made from thin thread the spider makes.
