Liquivore

Liquivores are animals that liquify their food using digestive enzymes. Examples of liquivores are spiders and flies.

Flies

Flies use an oral tube to release their digestive juices onto their meal to transform it to a "soup" in which it can suck up as the insect feasts.

Spiders

Spiders wrap their prey around in silk and then waits for it to suffocate. The spider then bites into the wrapped victim and inserts enzymes that digest the victim and the spider sucks the juices out of the meal.
