Stalking their prey

To catch their prey they sneak up on their prey, and when the time is right they pounce on it and inject it with venom from it's fangs. There are poisonous glands at the end of each of there fangs, their venom is not deadly to humans, but can cause severe pain, sweating, and nausea. Since they have no teeth in order to tear or chew their food they regurgitate digestive juices onto their prey. These juices break down soft tissue, allowing the spider to suck up the liquid and eat it's meal.
