What is a crab?

Crabs are (usually) marine crustaceans. They have ten legs (counting specialized ones, e.g., claws or flattened pair of hind ones for swimming). Their body is generally broad and flattened; their eyes on short stalks, with the abdomen small and folded under the thorax. Commonly they have a hardened shell. The term crab is also used to describe other creatures with superficial similarities to true crabs, e.g., crustaceans like the hermit crab or horseshoe crab. There is also a parasite called a crab louse; body lice are informally referred to as crabs.

How much legs does a normal sized centipede have plzzzzzzzzz tell me i need to do it for homework?

Centipedes, which are members of the class Chilopoda, always have an uneven number of pairs of walking legs, ranging from 15 to more than 171. The true centipedes (order Scolopendromorpha) have either 21 or 23 pairs of legs. Common house centipedes (Scutigera coleoptrato) have 15 pairs of legs.I think they will most likely be asking the amount of legs for the common house ones so it would be 15 pairs of legs.:)

How many feet does a caterpillar have?

There are lots of species of caterpillars and, to some extent, the number depends on the species - some have no legs at all. However, most caterpillars have 3 pairs of "true" legs and 5 pairs of "prolegs". Prolegs aren't really legs - they aren't jointed - but the serve a similar purpose. So most caterpillars can be said to have 16 legs (and hence 16 feet).
