Insects, by definition, have six legs, as they belong to the class Insecta, which is characterized by this feature. If an organism has ten legs, it would not be classified as an insect; it might instead belong to other arthropod groups like arachnids (which have eight legs) or certain crustaceans. Therefore, there isn't a specific name for a "ten-legged insect" because such a creature does not exist within the classification of insects.

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.
