The initial bite serves to paralyze the prey and minimize the danger of the spider herself being stung or bitten, and the enzymes thus injected serve to begin liquefaction of the prey's internal structures. Alongside the use of the web to capture other prey, the spiders are also cannibals and prey on each other. However, this only happens before or after sexual activity. They attack based on their size, sexual experience and hunger levels. "A. diadematus"
