I think from disecting a crayfish in my Biology class, that crayfish have 5 sets of different appendages. All in all, the crayfish we disected had 36 actual appendages. Appendages are areas on an animal that "stick out". Kind of like our arms and legs except crustaceans and other animals have more, and can grow them back if they are cut off. Like I said, total, our crayfish had 36 appendages from anterior to posterior. There are a total of 38 appendages, 19 on each side.

Yes
Locusts have several structures on their heads. The antennae help the locust detect vibrations while the eyes help them see.
The antennules and antennae
A crayfish's mouth is located on the bottom side of its head, just behind its antennae. The crayfish has numerous mouth appendages including 2 sets of maxilla, 3 sets of maxillipeds, and mandibles.
Crayfish are classified as arthropods, because of their characteristic segmented bodies, chitinous exoskeleton, and joint appendages.
They use them to Walk,Swim,Defend Itself,Smell,and catching prey.
