The pair of scorpion appendages that appear to be adapted for grasping prey are their chela (claws). The claws have a movable finger and an immovable finger. The movable finger is what clamps down and grasps onto prey.
The first pair of legs appear to be extremely long, yet thin, much smaller than the claws that they have. They appear to be the smallest appendages that the scorpion has. The function that they may serve is to help stabilize the scorpion as it is walking around. They might also function as some sort of sensory organ due to how as a scorpion moves, the first pair of legs will touch new areas first.
The palps appear to be similar to small claws near the scorpions mouth. Potentially, the function that they serve is to crush their prey into smaller pieces before consuming them.

In comparison, arachnids and insects usually have multiple pairs of legs on one body segment.
The Ten-lined June Beetle does show sexual dimorphism. When comparing males and females, the greatest contrast appears in their antennae. Males appear to have larger antennae than females.
The antennae of moths and butterflies differ. Moths seem to have fluffier and wider antennas, whereas butterflies have longer and thinner ones.
The color varies from the inside to the outside of a colored spot. From the butterfly that we observed under the microscope, the color went from a yellow color to a brownish-black color. The color appears to vary within a single scale.
The prediction was supported by the data measured at my table. Our P-value was 0.000316 (for a one-tailed test) and 0.000632 (for a two-tailed test). Our results revealed that there was a difference between male and female chelipeds. The data supports that cheliped length is a sexually selected
