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.

From October to November this year, scientists have discovered a plant eating spider. It eats the fruit of the acacia plant. Officials are debating whether or not the spider is an insect or an arachnid. They are still researching.
