  • All spiders (except those in the obscure family Uloboridae) inject venom through the hollow fangs to kill their prey, which includes enzymes that start to liquidise the food. The resulting pre-digested gloop is sucked up through the mouth orifice, between the chelicerae.
    Individual spiders' colourings can range from extremely light yellow to very dark grey, but all Araneus diadematus spiders have mottled white markings across the dorsal abdomen, with four or more segments forming a cross. The markings are formed in cells filled with guanine, which is a byproduct of protein metabolism.
