"Bizarre Spider Feeds by Drenching Prey in Deadly Digestive Fluids"
Feather-legged lace weavers, a type of spider, appear to immobilize their prey by dousing them in toxic digestive fluids. Unlike other spiders that inject venom through their fangs, these spiders produce neurotoxins in their gut. Researchers discovered RNA for potential toxins in the spiders' midgut gland, indicating that the digestive fluid may be toxic. This unique hunting strategy involves wrapping the prey in silk before covering them in fluids and consuming them. While they may not have venom glands, these spiders still use toxins in a distinct way.
