What process do wolf spiders use to consume captured prey?

Answer

External digestion by injecting enzymes to liquefy tissues

Wolf spiders employ a characteristic method known as external digestion common among many arachnids. Once prey is subdued via a venomous bite, the spider injects digestive enzymes directly into the victim. These enzymes serve to break down the soft internal tissues of the prey, effectively liquefying them internally. Following this preparatory step, the wolf spider then sucks up the resulting nutrient-rich liquid slurry. This leaves behind only the dry, indigestible husk of the exoskeleton. This technique allows them to process prey that might otherwise be too difficult or large to consume directly.
