By biological definition, an 'insect' has only six legs. Some insect larva seem to have more, however these are not 'true' legs, these are stumps known as prolegs. Unless you mean a species like woodlice (which are not insects) then you could be referring to insect larva like caterpillars.

Centipedes are arthropods. Their name implies that they have a hundred legs but they have between 30 to 354 legs. There are also millipedes which the name implies a thousand legs.

Insects have six legs. If it has more than six, it is not an insect.

No bugs have15 legs.

Insects have six.

Spiders and some others have eight.

Centipedes always have an even number. Some may have 14 or 16.
