How do the three largest groups of arthropods differ?
The three largest are insects (six legs, almost all have wings), arachnids (eight legs, piercing fangs, front legs modified to pedipalps), and crustaceans (ten legs, mostly aquatic save for woodlice). ^^
What sings and has ten feet?
A decapod crustacean, specifically a crab, fits this description. Crabs have ten legs, with the front pair modified into claws. The sound produced by rubbing their claws together can be interpreted as a form of singing, making them the only known singing decapods.
How many legs does a cray fish have?
10 legs (8 regular and 2 claws)
How many legs does a blue swimmer crab have?
Crabs are decapods, they have ten legs (including the large claws and flipper appendages)
Where are the 10 legs on a lobster?
Lobsters have a total of ten legs, which include eight walking legs and two claws. The eight walking legs are located on their thorax, while the two large claws, known as chelae, are also attached to this part of the body. The walking legs help them move along the ocean floor, while the claws are used for defense and capturing prey.
Does a lobster have anything the same to a crab?
Exoskeletons and claws, but lobsters have ten legs while crabs have eight.
How many legs does a lobster have?
It has 8 "walking legs" and the 2 large claws for a total of 10 appendages. This gives rise to the term decapod (ten feet) used for these crustaceans, including crabs and lobsters.The front two legs of a lobster are its claws. They are still "legs" but considered non-walking legs because they're used for offense (capturing and crushing prey) and for defense. So their are technically 5 pair of legs.
Are arthropods grouped on depending on the amount of legs they have?
Yes. Insects have six, arachnids have eight, crustaceans have ten and myriapods (centi/millipedes) have many. ^^
How many legs do crabs walk on?
Crabs typically walk on ten legs. They possess eight walking legs and two claws, which are often referred to as pincers. These legs allow them to move effectively in their aquatic or terrestrial environments.
What characteristics distinguishes crustaceans from all other arthropods?
Their ten walking legs, and their split nature (biramous). All their legs are tiny pincers matching the main ones, unless the segment is fused.
What arthropod has five legs?
Due to their bilateral symmetry, arthropods wouldn't have five legs; rather, they would have five leg pairs (ten legs), i.e., Decapods - an order of crustaceans including crabs, shrimp, lobster, crayfish, etc.
How many joints are in a crayfish's leg?
No - or, not "only" six. Lobsters belong to the order Decapoda (literally, 'ten feet'), an order of crustaceans within the class Malacostraca. Remember that the "legs" may have significant specialization and not necessarily resemble a process that the organism uses for walking - such as swimmeretes, or front claws; in this case it might seem the lobster has four pairs of legs for walking (pereiopods) and one pair for grasping and manipulating (chelipeds).
