钳子, 螯
any of the sharp curved organs of an arthropod or insect, such as a crab, lobster, etc.
A pincer is a gripping organ found in various animals, including some crustaceans, insects, and arachnids. Typically, a pincer consists of two curved and pointed claws that are used to grasp and hold onto objects or prey. The claws are attached to the end of a limb or appendage, which can be moved to bring the claws together or apart. Pincers can vary in size and strength depending on the species, with some being strong enough to crush the shells of small animals or cut through vegetation. In many species, the pincers are also used as a weapon for defense against predators or rivals.
