They spin their prey around a lot, but they seem to want to feed by biting the back of the neck. My guess is that the spider injects digestive enzymes from multiple points to speed up the breakdown of the soft tissue in the victim.

Ew! :huh

Thanks for the props Marina! :cool

The gear just helps me get a lot of magnification without forcing me to get really close.
