The creature known to have eight legs is the spider. Spiders belong to the class Arachnida, which also includes scorpions, ticks, and mites. Unlike insects, which have six legs, spiders possess eight legs, enabling them to move quickly and effectively while hunting prey. They use their legs for various purposes, including constructing webs for trapping food, climbing, and walking. Spiders are found in a wide range of environments, from gardens to forests, and exhibit incredible diversity in size and behavior. While most are harmless, some species can deliver venomous bites, making them both fascinating and, in certain cases, concerning creatures in the animal kingdom.
