Worms come in three groups: roundworms (nematodes, long featureless body), flatworms (flat) and ringworms (segmented like earthworms). Insect larvae can be legless and segmented like ringworms (maggots for example), but they're never as long and thin, and they have clear mouthparts when looked at up close.
Most insect larvae have legs, however. Grubs (beetle larvae) have six at the front (think of a ladybug larva). Caterpillars have six real legs and many stubby pseudolegs behind these. None of them really look like worms. ^^
Furthermore worms belong to one of the three worm phyla (Nematoda, Platyhelminthes, Annelida) and insects are all Arthropoda.

What is the difference between simple and complete metamorphosis?

What is difference between complete and incomplete metamorphosis?
Incomplete metamorphosis involves the animal slowly growing larger through successive moults. The young are called nymphs, and their wings grow externally (like buds) in the early instars. (Eg. grasshoppers, cicadas,etc.) Complete metamorphosis involves separate stages of development; larvae, pupa and adult. (About 90% of insects, including butterflies)
