The fangs of the large wandering spider (Cupiennius salei) are incisively shaped, right to the tip. The spider uses its curved fang to grasp its prey, punctures its chitinous armour and injects venom ...

Although their armour consists of the same material as their predator’s fangs, flies, grasshoppers and other insects that are the usual prey of spiders have little to offer by way of defence against ...

A study published today in the journal Nature Communications explores the biomechanics of the fangs of Cupiennius salei (a wandering spider that lives mostly in South America). The paper's authors ...
