Can an insect have less than 6 legs?

Answer 1

No, all insects have six legs unless they've been injured and lost a leg or two. Insects make up around 90 percent of all the animal life forms on our planet.

Answer 2

Yes, some insects, like flies and ants, can have fewer than six legs. Insects belong to the class Insecta, which is defined by having three body segments, a pair of antennae, and typically three pairs of legs, but some insects have adaptations that cause them to have fewer legs.
