Here's a question that has bubbled up in my mind from time to time:

Everyone knows that spiders use their chelicerae (fangs) to capture 
their prey, and to inject a venom that immobilizes the prey. However, 
how do they feed? Do they feed through the chelicerae, or do they have a 
separate mouth opening? If the latter, how do they break through the 
tough shell of their prey in order to feed?

Inquiring minds want to know.
