    Idk where this myth started from but shrimp and lobsters are crustaceans, a separate class of arthropods within the phylum arthropoda. arthropoda is a massive phylum and bugs belong to the class insecta. lobsters and shrimp belong to crustacea so calling shrimp bugs is like calling whales hippos because they’re both from the clade artiodactyla /nerdmode off

      i think it’s like “tree” and “fish”, which is not a phylogenetic group but a certain shape/form/expression.

    I think the problem is we don’t have huge ol crickets that are lobster sized. Otherwise you’d have Red Locust and all you can eat grasshopper legs.

            Had it at a fancy French restaurant. I was interested in the fact that they’re essentially boiled in butter and herbs(?) but my brain 100% did not connect the dots as I forked one and bit in. Burned my mouth so fuckin bad I went through 2 glasses of ice water just so I could taste the halibut special I accidentally spent $70 on.

      They’re different enough by size and their habitat that we don’t encounter them as primates so logically we don’t have any reason to have an aversion instinct. Regular insects can be poisonous or parasites but these don’t really look like insects.

    The line of arthropods that broke off to become Insecta did so in the Devonian Period, roughly 400 million years ago. Centipedes evolved in the fucking Silurian. Comparing these two groups is kinda like comparing raccoons, possums, and platypuses to fish.

      No they aren’t lol, nothing alive now is descended from anything else alive now.

      They are somewhat related in the broad scheme of things, but not that close when you dig a bit deeper. They share a common ancestor about 400 million years ago (1, 2), whereas we share a common ancestor with them about 530 million years ago. Considering the more than 2 billion year history of life, you could say we are almost as related to them as they are to each other. It’s true that this was during the Cambrian explosion (3) so we are about as distantly removed from them as animals can be, and differentiation of biological features slowed down a bit after that, but still, true insects and the kinds of crustaceans we mostly eat like shrimps and lobsters have been on different branches of the evolutionary tree for most of the history of animals.

      Of course we (humans) do eat many land insects too, like crickets and so on.

      Here’s a fun zoomable graphic I found while looking up the dates: https://www.onezoom.org/life/@Pancrustacea=985906?otthome=%40%3D770311#x-28,y311,w0.8390
