Scopulae, or scopula pads, are dense tufts of hair at the end of a spiders's legs.They are found mostly on hunting spiders, for example Salticidae and Sparassidae.Scopulae consist of microscopic hairs, known as setae, which are each covered in even smaller hairs called setules or "end feet", resulting in a large contact area.

Crosshairs (Transformers), several robot superhero characters in the Transformers robot superhero franchise. Crosshair (Star Wars), a deformed clone trooper and former member of The Bad Batch in the Star Wars franchise.
The micrometer-scale setae branch into nanometer-scale projections called spatulae. [6] A Tokay gecko's two front feet can sustain 20.1 N of force parallel to the surface using approximately 14,400 setae per mm 2. This equates to ~ 6.2 pN per seta, but does not sufficiently account for the overall stickiness behavior shown by the foot pads. [7]
In some species, the setae are hollow, connecting to venom-producing cells, like a hypodermic needle. Generally, setae are only externally irritating, but may be more dangerous if contact is made with mucous membranes or if ingested; some can cause severe skin necrosis , eczema -like symptoms and shedding .
In most species of bees, the scopa is simply a dense mass of elongated, often branched, hairs (or setae) on the hind leg. When present on the hind legs, the modified hairs are, at a minimum, on the tibia , but some bees also have modified hairs on the femur and/or trochanter .
Preening brush: a dense cluster of setae near the ventral tip of the posterior metatarsi; called a preening comb when present as a transverse row of setae. [22] Procurved: Used to describe a structure which is curved in such a way that the outer edges are in front of the central part; [22] opposite recurved
Drawing of the statocyst system Statocysts (ss) and statolith (sl) inside the head of sea snail Gigantopelta chessoia. The statocyst is a balance sensory receptor present in some aquatic invertebrates, including bivalves, [1] cnidarians, [2] ctenophorans, [3] echinoderms, [4] cephalopods, [5] [6] crustaceans, [7] and gastropods, [8] A similar structure is also found in Xenoturbella.
