Portia labiata empty husk of the prey. Others grind the prey to pulp using the fangs and the bases of the pedipalps, while flooding it with enzymes; in these species the fangs and the bases of the pedipalps form a preoral cavity that holds the food they are processing. Occasionally a "Portia" is killed or injured while pursuing prey up to twice "Portia"′s size. "P. labiata" is killed in 2.1% of pursuits and injured but not killed in 3.9%, "P. schultzi" is killed in 1.7% and injured but not killed in 5.3%, and "P. fimbriata" in Queensland is killed in 0.06% of
