It's aways bothered me when I see giant spiders because shouldn't they have different jaws than a traditional web-weaving spider? The spider depicted had chelicerae designed for injecting venom and then siphoning the organs out of exoskeletal creatures because they have an open circulatory system. On a vertebrate they'd only maybe be able to eat the gutbag and leave all the remaining muscle because they lack the ability to chew, which would make them very unlikely to pursue prey with a high meat:organ ratio. Someone with more knowledge please tell me what jaws would allow a spider to eat large prey that would be mostly vertebrates
