Sometimes I watch ants and even smaller creatures moving about on their
tiny legs. It makes me wonder whether these little guys have hearts and
livers, muscle and tendons, fat, etc. just like I have.

I suppose they must have at least primitive versions of these. My
question is: Can the little devils, e.g. mites, be dissected and their
structures analysed? Also, what is the smallest creature that walks on
legs?
