Insects have six legs, while arachnids possess eight. The legs of insects are typically segmented and adapted for various functions, such as walking, jumping, or swimming. In contrast, arachnids' legs are generally more robust and are primarily used for locomotion and capturing prey. Additionally, the structure and joint arrangement of the legs differ between these two groups, reflecting their distinct evolutionary adaptations.
Tarantula's are Spiders, and Spiders are Arachnids. Arachnids have 8 legs, Insects have 6 legs. Spiders have 8 legs so there for a Tarantula is a Spider.
By definition, insects have six legs. There are, therefore, no insects that have eight legs. However, the family of arachnids are classed as having eight legs. These arachnids are often mistaken for insects, but are actually a completely different classification.
No they are not. Insects have 3 body parts (head, thorax, abdomen) and only have 6 legs. arachnids have 2 body parts (head, abdomen) and have 8 legs. Both insects and arachnids are arthropods.
Neither... It is an arachnid yeah it is neither. arachnids have 8 legs. insects have 6. Spiders are arachnids.
Mites and spiders are not insects, they are arachnids. While insects and arachnids have many similarities, they also have some obvious differences. Insects have six legs while arachnids have eight.
Yes, pretty much by definition. Obviously they can lose legs in accidents etc. but they come as standard with six legs.
Arachnids and insects are both types of arthropods, but they have some key differences. Arachnids, like spiders and scorpions, have eight legs and two body segments, while insects, like ants and bees, have six legs and three body segments. Additionally, arachnids do not have antennae, while insects do.
NO
Arachnids (spiders, mites and ticks) have 8 legs.correct
arachnids have 8 legs, like spider. insects have 6 legs, like ant, bee,
a spider had eight legs of course
Spiders have 8 legs; insects have 6 legs.
