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
Actually, hexapoda was moved taxonomically to be classed as Crustaceans due to new research. The new clade is called Pancrustacea. Insects can now properly be called “terrestrial crustaceans”
I would however like to point out that literally none of the pictured animals are bugs.

One of the definitions of bug is “small arthropod with many legs”
Take your nerdmode into the shop, its database is defective.
Shrimps is bugs!
i think it’s like “tree” and “fish”, which is not a phylogenetic group but a certain shape/form/expression.
Insects are crustaceans. As are isopods. Interestingly, spiders are not
