If a pillbug/rollypoly/potato bug/doodlebug/ is a bug? Then lobsters and crabs are absolutely bugs. This actually doesn’t bother me.

Lobsters and Crabs are 100% giant sea insects. Shrimp are basically giant sea gnats. They are tasty and provide nutrients. No problem there. Plenty of cultures eat land insects.
