Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -All insects have six legs (three pairs of jointed legs) and usually four wings (two pairs).
Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore, in total there are 3 pairs of legs, i.e. an insect has 6 legs.
Detailed explanation-3: -Six legs allow for locomotion, while maintaining a supportive tripod at all times. There are several million species of insects, all on 6 legs. This implies that any change in this number is promptly selected against. It is generally agreed that insects were derived from many-legged ancestors, e.g. centipedes.
