its legs
Lower part of the leg, specifically from the knee to the ankle, typically in reference to humans or insects (notably locusts); designates the lower limb segment supporting locomotion. In some contexts, used metonymically for legs as a pair or the part exposed or carried, not the entirety of the limb. In later or poetic usage, it may refer to limbs more generally.
