How many legs do arthropods have?

Answer 1

It varies. Typically insects (which are arthropods) have 6, although it can vary depending on species. Because the name "arthropod" refers to any organisms with exoskeletons, there is no exact number of legs that an arthropod may possess. Insects in general possess 6 limbs, while arachnids such as Spiders have 8. Crustaceans like lobsters or crabs may support 10 or more. Still, some species in the subphylum myriapoda such as millipedes or centipedes may contain at least 9 pairs of legs. The leggiest specie of arthropod, Illacme plenipes, which is a Californian millipede, has been recorded for having 750 legs.

Answer 2

No - humans are mammals.

Arthropods have an exoskeleton and a segmented body (i.e. shrimp).

Update: You might be thinking of "anthropod" a word that comes from Greek and means roughly "human".

Answer 3

Yes, arthropods have legs. The name means "joint foot", in other words bent legs. Most arthropods are insects and thus have three pairs of legs, like a cockroach. Crustaceans, like crabs, usually have five pairs of legs, and arachnids, like scorpions, always have five pairs, but in some arachnids they are adapted as mouthparts instead of legs, as in spiders. Millipedes and centipedes have many, many pairs of legs, some over 300, but others as few as 10. Anything other arthropod always has less than ten pairs of legs.

Answer 4

No There are only 40% of arthropods . The other 60% are not arthropods.

Answer 5

No, organisms in the phylum arthropoda are invertebrates.

Answer 6

yes, with around 80% of all described animal species

Answer 7

Insects, arachnids, crustaceans, centi/millipedes.
