We built the Sydney Funnel Web Spider up in our last blog, only to now tear it down and call it sucky in this one! But sadly it’s the truth, they do suck and they have to as they don’t have any teeth for chewing their food.

When they’ve found dinner, which is usually other creepy crawlies such as beetles and cockroaches, they rear up with a whole lot of attitude and stab their fangs down and into their prey delivering a powerful venom that paralyses it. This sounds impressive and it’s awesome to watch, but without any teeth how do they eat it?
