Food taken by the legs and maxillary goes into the mouth. Rigid pieces out by doing mouth and soft parts are made by the lower jaw send to the stomach into the esophagus. Calcareous parts in the stomach (calcareous teeth), there are mechanical digestion of food are responsible. Thorns are in intestinal entries that does not pass large pieces of food. Covering the stomach wall is chitin, which helps digestion. Hepatopancreas produces enzymes like pancreas that is effective in digestion. Intestinal absorption of food is done in the middle part. Intestinal tract, except the middle part is covered with chitin layer each molting is separated and re-built. In some seasons, in the front wall of the stomach made some calcareous Gostrolith that seems their work is saving calcareous minerals such as calcium carbonate for making hard outer skeleton after each molting
