To be an insect it can only have 6 legs, anything with 8 legs is considered arachnid not insect :)

No.
The definition of insects, shows a requirement that they have 6 legs. There are bugs that are not spiders, that have 8 legs and are still in the Arachnid family. These include tics, mites, scorpions and harvestmen.

Isle Flyer has the answer - if it doesn't have six legs it can't be described as an insect because it isn't one.
