Pedipalp

Real World Example

Imagine trying to eat spaghetti with only a single fork, making it difficult to twirl the noodles and keep them from slipping away. This challenge is similar to how arachnids use their pedipalps to sense and secure their prey effectively. Just as a second fork would help you hold the spaghetti steady while you twirl it with the first fork, pedipalps assist arachnids by acting as extra limbs that sense their surroundings and hold onto their prey, allowing them to manage their meal more efficiently.
