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

One of the definitions of bug is "small arthropod with many legs"

Take your nerdmode into the shop, its database is defective.
