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.
