What is do spiders have 10 legs?

Spiders do not have 10 legs. They have 8 legs, which are segmented and attached to their thorax. This distinguishes them from insects, which have 6 legs. The confusion about spiders having 10 legs may arise from the fact that they also have two specialized appendages called pedipalps, which are sometimes mistaken for legs. However, these pedipalps are not used for walking, but rather for sensing and manipulating prey.
