They have six legs -- insects.

The large one looks like a borer. Those long antennas are a common
feature of borers. The small ones may be its nymphs (some insects don't
go through a larval stage, but emerge as incomplete versions of their
adult form. These are called "nymphs".)

Arachnids (spiders and others) have eight legs. Other arthropods have
even more.

Of course "bugs" is applied to all kinds of creepy-crawlies. ;-)
