GRUESOME!!
Spiders have very small mouths. And just like spiders, the insects that are their prey have hard outer bodies. In order to eat their prey, spiders use their strong jaws to puncture the hard outer bodies of insects they have caught. They then throw up special juices from their stomachs into the insect's soft inner body. Within seconds, whatever these juices touch turns into liquid. The spider then sucks the inside of the insect dry and eventually all that is left is the hard insect outer body suit.


Big icebergs


Big icebergs
The largest icebergs ever recorded, called A43A and B15, broke away from Antarctica this year, as seen on satellite images. They are so big that every one of the 6 billion people on Earth could fit onto their vast surfaces. Scientists now wonder whether human activity on the planet could have influenced the birth of these huge icebergs.
