A sampling of ten arthropods might yield some the decapods (ten-legged crustaceans) such as the lobster, crab, shrimp, krill, crayfish, prawns; one could also appeal for examples to the relatives of the insect that stung poor Dudley Moore's character George in the movie "10" when he was trying to spy on Jenny (Bo Derek); viz, the bee, and its distant kin the Asian giant hornet or "yak killer hornet". Interestingly enough, on insect abdomens there are usually ten segments, sometimes eleven (though it may seem less because segmentation may be internal). Then there's the Japanese spider crab, one example of which was measured with a claw-span of over ten feet across; and the eurypterid, a now extinct arthropod, possibly a fossil of which was found in Cambrian strata dating back five hundred and ten million years and thought to be among the first evidence of animals on land.
