tacosanonymous,

I love that their bodies get bigger but their arms are still skinny.

That’s how it actually works, right? They have something more akin to a hydraulic system, than a muscular system. I think all the pressure would be stored in the trunk, right?

Edit: never mind, I’m thinking of arachnids, not insects.

Ants have muscles:

They both use hemolymph but only arachnids use them as hydraulics.
