Insects must have a head, thorax, and abdomen. They have three pairs of legs and usually two pairs of wings. The crayfish obviously doesn't have wings, (not sure about the other requirements) so it is not an insect.

No. Crayfish are crustaceans. An insect can be identified by having six legs. Anything with more is not an insect.
