The foremost paired formation which looks pretty much like legs
are in fact not. Those are called pedipalpae and are a distinctive
feature for all Arachnidae (spiders, scorpions, solipuga, ticks).
They serve tactile function and also used by some male species
to deliver sperm to the female during mating.
