It varies. Typically insects (which are arthropods) have 6, although it can vary depending on species. Because the name "arthropod" refers to any organisms with exoskeletons, there is no exact number of legs that an arthropod may possess. Insects in general possess 6 limbs, while arachnids such as Spiders have 8. Crustaceans like lobsters or crabs may support 10 or more. Still, some species in the subphylum myriapoda such as millipedes or centipedes may contain at least 9 pairs of legs. The leggiest specie of arthropod, Illacme plenipes, which is a Californian millipede, has been recorded for having 750 legs.

Arthropoda
Arthropods are invertebrates with jointed appendages. They include insects, spiders, crustaceans (like crabs and shrimp), and centipedes. Their segmented bodies with exoskeletons provide support for their appendages.
All insects have 6 legs... An insect with 5 legs has gotten into an accident somewhere and lost one.
No, millipedes are not worms. Millipedes are arthropods, specifically belonging to the class Diplopoda, and are known for their long segmented bodies and numerous legs. Worms, on the other hand, are classified as annelids and have a more simple, tube-like body structure.
All arthropods have an exoskeleton, segmented body, and jointed legs.
No, that is not true. Arthropods include insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and Myriapoda. Insects always do have six legs. Arachnids, like spiders and scorpions, have eight. Myriapods, which are millipedes and centipedes, have many legs, ranging from over a dozen to over a hundred, depending on the type.
Arthropods are segmented animals with jointed legs and an exoskeleton.
Certainly. Arthropods include insects, which have six legs, and arachnids which have eight legs, and crustaceans which have various numbers of legs, but they do all have legs, and they use them to move around. That is al lfor know

Legs and exoskeletons were extremely useful, as these enabled the creatures to resist gravity, which is not a concern in the bouyancy of water.
