What body part is used by scorpions and crabs to fight and hurt attackers?

Answer: Scorpions, like other arachnids, have certain unique body components that aid in hunting and survival. Pedipalps are the pincer-like claws that scorpions use to catch prey and protect themselves against assailants.

What is Pedipalps?

Pedipalps (also known as palps or palpi) are the second pair of appendages of chelicerates, which include spiders, scorpions, horseshoe crabs, and marine spiders. The pedipalps are located lateral to the chelicerae ("jaws") and prior to the first walking legs. The pedipalps are made up of six parts or articles: the coxa, trochanter, femur, short patella, tibia, and tarsus. In spiders, the coxae typically include extensions known as maxillae or gnathobases that serve as mouth parts with or without assistance from the coxae of the front legs. The limbs themselves can be simple tactile organs that seem like legs, as in spiders or large chelate weapons (pincers) like scorpions. The pedipalps of Solifugae are coated with setae, although they have not been thoroughly examined.
