They have become walking legs, or true palps, in those arachnids that have large chelicerae (Araneae, Palpigradi, Solifugae, and many Opiliones and mites). In orders with small chelicerae (Scorpiones, Amblypygi, Uropygi, and Pseudoscorpiones) the pedipalp has become modified to form a large raptorial organ.)
