Hair in Your Food, Pt. 4 - _TNY_8818

I would imagine that eating a moth like this with all those hairs would mean you end up with a lot of hairs in your mouth.

 

This Attulus terebratus jumping spider on the white garage doors is of course not affected by this. Like all spiders, it lacks jaws and does not "eat" the moth. Instead it uses it venom which liquifies the innards which then can be sucked out like a tasty moth smoothie - void of any annoying hairs.
