If you treat this logic seriously then dragons, griffins, sphynxes, fairies, and winged horses are all also insects.

Personally, I feel like being an insect is less dependent on the amount of limbs and more the taxonomical linearity of a particular group of invertebrates, and fantasy creatures don't fit earthly taxonomy by nature of being Weird Things we Collectively Made Up.

centaurs are half human horse/donkey/mule so they are not insects

Erm insects must have a pair of antennae and a thorax. They also have to have an exoskeleton. (Being an invertebrate, which a centaur is not.) A centaur can't be an insect because it doesn't have these features. A centaur is also based on a combination of two mammalian creatures, and an insect is not a mammal.

with that logic a centaur with the upper body of an insect is a spider since you net gain 2 (idk what the base would remove but it would be funny if it only got rid of 2 legs each time, like imagine a centipede?)
Back starting fresh after not playing for over 5 years, should be fun to get "addicted" to this game again
