Many spiders first inject the intact body of the prey with digestive enzymes that liquefy its tissues.
This liquid is then sucked up, and the spider discards the more or less intact outer shell of the prey.
Other spiders crunch up the prey to expose its soft inner tissues and then flood them with digestive enzymes.
After sucking up their meal, they discard a shapeless mass of chewed-up outer shell.
