Well, and crabs technically have 10 legs, with their foremost pair typically equipped with pincers. 🙃

i’m sure there’s at least one ant-mimicking spider that has turned their front legs into extra quasi-pedipalps to blend in better, getting rid of limbs is super easy in evolution (that’s where antennae and the existing pedipalps come from, and spinnerets too i presume)
