What kind of appendages do spiders have?

copied answer:What are spider appendages says:Spiders have spinnerets near the rear end of their bodies. They use these spinnerets to spin out their silk. They have eight legs, and each leg is terminated (depending on the species) by either three claws or two claws. Between the front two legs are two more, shorter, appendages called "pedipalps." These appendages are shorter than legs and are used for manipulating things such as their prey, things they want to eliminate from their webs and living areas, and (in males) they are terminated by a kind of biological syringe that they load up with semen and then inject into the sexual organ of the female during mating. Finally, there are the two chelicerae have a basal part that you can see when you look a resting spider directly in the face, and each of them has a fang that has its point held near the mouth of the spider and that folds into the chelicera like the blade of a jackknife folds into its handle.Unlike insects, spiders do not have antennae. They do not have wings. They do not have three body parts either, just the abdomen and the "cephalothorax" (head plus chest) where the legs, pedipalps, chelicerae, eyes, etc. are located.Read more: What_are_spider_appendages
