The largest true insect (six legs) is the african Goliath Beetle. Arthropods (many legs, exoskeletons) grow much larger...giant spider crabs can have a 12ft legspan. The limitation on size is due to the lack of lungs, not the lack of bones. Insect respiration is very primitive, relying on diffusion not muscle-induced respiration.
