In the news this morning...

 

[Bill.de.Cat]

Morning kittens....77f and humid, the pollen count is up and it's garbage day ( yeehaw). So I get to slurp, puff, run around the house emptying the inside cans while dodging puppers trying to get my attention ( cause each and every one knows they are the SPECIAL one and the others aren't) then get the outside bins to the curb in the dark cause we never know when those guys are going to show up.
3BOG trimmed and in the bin, main concerne this morning is getting the tent set and lit up with the Stars.

Happy Friday Mossy. For me, it's almost time for the weekend.

Wow I don't know how you stoners can count 8 legs when there are only 6.

@Mañ'O'Green Good to point it out!
So I have made a list of how many legs different animals have because I find that sort of stuff interesting!

0 legs: most groups of animals. All worms (nematodes, platyhelminths, annelids, etc.). All jellies (cnidarians and ctenophores). Sponges. Molluscs excluding octopus. Most echinoderms, excluding brittle stars and crinoids. Any fish. Snakes. A bunch of lizard lineages,Reptiles have on a number of occasions evolved into limbless forms – snakes, amphisbaenia, and legless lizards . Caecilians (a type of amphibian). Whales. Some planktonic crustaceans, like ostracods, branchiopods, etc.

1 leg - none.Many bivalvia and nearly all gastropoda molluscs have evolved only one foot (Which is not a leg). Through accidents (i.e. amputation) or birth abnormalities it is also possible for an animal, including humans, to end up with only a single leg.

2 legs - Birds. Bats. A few very odd lizards. Humans.Members of Bipedidae have 2 legs. Birds,Bats,humans & A few very odd lizards have 2 legs (but 4 limbs)

3 legs - none.

4 legs - Most tetrapods, aptly enough. So amphibians minus caecilians and change. "Reptiles" minus snakes, amphisbaenians like our pink friend up there, and a bunch of other legless lizards. Turtles. Crocodylians. Mammals.

5 legs - most brittle stars. (I'm not counting true sea stars–asteroids–because they don't walk with their "legs", they glide using tube feet. Brittle stars, on the other hand... well, watch for yourself.)

6 legs - Insects and their relatives. Otherwise known as most species on earth. Mantis shrimp.Hexapod

7 legs - Some brittle stars. Tardigrades
***A freak sheep with seven legs has been born in China. The adorable lamb was welcomed into the world by Inner Mongolian farmer Wang Jingfeng late January. Within minutes it was running and jumping around, and drinking milk from its mother.

8 legs - Arachnids. Many decapod crustaceans, their first set of walking legs (periopods) having been modified for defense and object manipulation. Octopi

10 legs - Most other crustaceans with walking legs. Pycnogonids. Horseshoe crabs.Crabs, lobsters and crayfish, shrimp, and in the desert, their is the scorpion. wind-spiders (not a spider), camel-spiders (not a spider), wind-scorpions, and sun-spiders(not a spider). Technically, they are called solifugae.

11 legs - Astrochlamys sol, a basket star.

As a couple of counterexamples, species in the classes Symphyla (Pseudocentipedes) and Pauropoda within Myriapoda have 8-11 and 12 leg pairs respectively, so between 16 to 24 legs (sometimes with one or two leg pair stronlgy reduced in size).

14 legs - The giant Bathynomus is a deep sea crustacean with 14 legs. Woodlouse (Oniscidea) ,Giant Isopod (Bathynomus giganteus)

16 Legs - Hickory Horned Devil (Citheronia regalis) – 16 Legs

So overall, in Arthropoda, having 12-28 legs doesn't seem all that uncommon. There are probably other Arthropod groups besides those mentioned here that also have leg counts in this range.

“The word 'millipede' has always been a bit of a misnomer,” said Paul Marek, an entomologist at Virginia Tech university and lead author of the study describing the newfound species. All other known millipedes Millipedes sport far fewer legs than their name implies, with many species having fewer than 100 legs.

Often referred to as “thousand-leggers,” millipedes generally have anywhere from 30-90+ pairs of legs. The Illacme plenipes, one of about 10,000 known species of millipede, is the leggiest bug in the world. Males of these species have about 200 pairs of legs and females have over 300.

Centipedes are long, thin arthropods with one pair of legs per body segment. Despite "centi" in their name, which implies 100 legs, centipedes can have fewer than 20 legs to more than 300 legs, but they always have an odd number of pairs of legs.
Scutigera coleoptrata, more commonly known as the house centipede. has 40 legs.
The Siphonorhinid Millipede (Illacme plenipes) – 750 Legs.

You also need to define 'legs' for the discussion to be meaningful. As you say, decapods have 10 legs on their thoracic segments (thoracic appendages), but they can also have appendages on their abdomens (Pleopods/swimming legs), which will place many decapods in the 10-20 leg range.
