About This Answer
Spiders have eight legs, distinguishing them from insects which have six. According to arachnologists at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, the eight-legged structure defines the arachnid class. The American Museum of Natural History documents how spider legs contain hydraulic systems for movement. Entomologists note that eight legs provide stability and speed for hunting. The eight-legged configuration has remained constant throughout millions of years of spider evolution.
