What are the features of arachnid?
The features of an arachnid are its eight legs.
Arachnids are a class (Arachnida) of joint-legged invertebrate animals in the sub-phylum Chelicerata. All arachnids have eight legs, but some exceptions are of some species having the first pair legs convert to sensory function and harvest mite larvae have only 3 pairs of legs.
It is commonly understood that arachnids have four pairs of legs, and that arachnids may be easily distinguished from insects by this fact (insects have six legs or three pairs). Arachnids generally have a total of 6 pairs of appendages - two pairs of which have become adapted for feeding, defense, and sensory perception. The first pair of appendages, the chelicerae, serve in feeding and defense. The next pair of appendages, the pedipalps have been adapted for feeding, locomotion, and/or reproductive functions. In Solifugae , the palpi are quite leg-like and make Solifugae appear to have ten legs. The larvae of mites (and Ricinulei) have only six legs; the fourth pair appears when they moult into nymphs. However, there are also adult mites with six, or even four legs

Why did sailors get spider web tattoos on their elbows?
Ive seen people with hinge tattoos in this day and age.... it doesn't necessarily mean anything... depends on the person... and maybe if it means anything to them..... other than that its a clever; unique tattoo idea
A hinge tattoo on an elbow signifies the hinge like movement of the elbow. It has been a tattoo traditionally worn by sailor's.
While the above is true, the pit of the elbow is a very painfull place to work and by doing a hinge in there it is easier on the client, being they are mostly outline....Hope this helps...
There are no insects that have two legs. All insects have six legs and most insects have wings on their bodies.

What Greek myth explains the spiders?
The myth with Athena. Someone was egotistic and thought they were better at weaving then Athena herself. She heard of this and challenged her. The stakes were "If i win, you die" said the goddess. The civilian accepted and wove as best she could. Athena was a little impressed but she wove and obviously won. The girl went off and hung herfself out of shame. Feeling guilty, Athena brought her back to life but turned her into a spider, hanging from a thread (because she hung herself) that is why spiders are on the earth.
For one example the myth of Athena and Arachne explains how the Arachne spider was created. The myth is that there was a woman who weaved beautiful things and when she claimed that she could weave better than the goddess Athena (she's the goddess of wisdom and she was the best weaver she also created the loom). Athena heard this and got very angry so she went to Aracnhne and told her she was going to kill her because of what she said. Arachne said that before she died, to be allowed to give her a present. She gave her a cloak and said that it surely is better than anything Athena had. Athena then grew pity for Arachne and said that if she thought she was such a good weaver then to challenge Athena and they would create a quilt and the town would vote which they liked best. If Arachne won then she wouldn't die but if she lost it is her life. When the day of the contest came Athena and Arachne both weaved beautiful quilts but Athena's was better. Instead of killing Arachne though she turned her into a spider so she would we able to continue weaving but instead of tapestries and quilts and such, spider webs.

Yes, Horseshoe crabs and scorpions are classified as "Arachnids".
Chromatophores are pigment-containing and light-reflecting cells found in amphibians, fish, reptiles, crustaceans, and cephalopods. They are largely responsible for generating skin and eye colour in cold-blooded animals and are generated in the neural crest during embryonic development. Mature chromatophores are grouped into subclasses based on their colour (more properly "hue") under white light: xanthophores (yellow), erythrophores (red), iridophores (reflective / iridescent), leucophores (white), melanophores (black/brown) and cyanophores (blue). The term can also refer to coloured, membrane associated vesicles found in some forms of photosynthetic bacteria.
A "jumping-off spot" is a slang term that, approximately, means "the starting place" with the implication that the nature of the journey changes significantly at that point.
For example, Easterners who headed west to California overland in covered wagons would have regarded a place such as Kansas CIty as the "jumping off spot". You could reach it by train in relative safety, but from there you were "on your own".
