Chelicerae are a pair of appendages that the spider uses to seize and kill its prey. The chelicerae are above the mouth opening and just below the spider's eyes. At the end of each chelicera is a hard, hollow, pointed claw, and these claws are the spider's fangs. An opening in the tip of the fang connects with the poison glands so that when a spider bites an insect with its chelicerae, poison flows from the fangs into the wound and paralyses or kills its prey.
