Were there ever any 6-limbed animals other than insects?

They are part of the taxon Panarthropoda, which also includes phylum Arthropoda (the insect phylum) and the phylum Onychophora or velvet worms. Many species in this taxon are known to transmit the heebie jeebies.

One of the more familiar non-insect hexapods around these parts is the tiny black snow flea, which is a kind of springtail and not a true flea. I often see them by the thousands on top of the snow on warm days in late winter and early spring.

Long ago, my evil dad said we had to get the storm windows up “before the snow flies.”
At last, I know what he meant !

Some climate change deniers remove the space to angrily talk about Algore. After a few beers, they’re talking about Algar.
