<p>Obviously not, but like cockroaches, they are arthropods. They both have an exoskeleton with antennas and scavenge.</p>
<p>They also look like scorpions. It seems kind of gross if you think about it.</p>
<p>They’re seabugs.</p>
<p>That makes them sound kind of cute.</p>
<p>IMHO you have better things to do. But yes, they do look like bugs. Somewhat. Except they are reporeted to taste better and have more meat on their bones.</p>
<p>There’s some sort of Biblical thing about them being bugs, along with other crustaceans. So they’re not kosher. And maybe not halal either.</p>
<p>I don’t know how you people like eating lobster, or seafood in general. Thinking about it makes me wanna barf lol</p>
<p>mmmmmmmm bugs</p>
<p>True bugs are a group within the Insecta phylum, so no.</p>
<p>Lobsters are not bugs as you’ve pointed out. However, they are very close relatives to the cockroach. </p>
<p>They are both under the group Myriapoda and the phrase “roaches of the sea” explains the behavior of lobsters and other crustaceans as omnivore scavengers.</p>
<p>^
See, that makes it SO GROSS that lobsters are considered a delicacy.</p>
<p>Somebody justify the eating of lobsters to me so I don’t throw up.</p>
<p>They’re easier to eat than crabs?</p>
<p>You cannot Saugus, it is gross.</p>
<p>Per DH, the bug lover PhD (who creeps around at night wearing night goggles to view them, and totally embarrasses our kids):</p>
<p>Lobsters are decapods not insects. Same phylum different class.</p>
<p>Here’s what wiki says:</p>
<p>Decapod, from the Greek decapoda meaning “ten-legged”:</p>
<pre><code>* Crustaceans in the Order Decapoda, such as lobsters and crabs
</code></pre>
<p>A lobster is not a bug. It is a crustacean(Crustacea). True bugs are in the class Insecta, order Hemiptera, suborder Heteroptera. Crustacea and Insecta both belong in the phylum Arthropoda. From that point, the classification differs.</p>
<p>Also, don’t clams and mussels seem kind of similar to snails?</p>
<p>Sagus: haha, i can’t.</p>
<p>I mean, after all,some people do consider insects a delicacy.</p>
<p>I like lobsters, or almost any type of seafood. ha…you might call it disgusting but i call it dinner. </p>
<p>Although the similarities between them do instill shivers down my spine. lol!</p>
<p>I didn’t realize I referred to Insecta as a phylum. sad day.</p>
<p>And snails are edible. Escargot!</p>
<p>they taste so good!!!</p>
<p>lol…phylum insecta.</p>
<p>I thought they were a crustacean.</p>
<p>And I don’t like lobsters either. The texture of the meat when chewing is unbearable.</p>
<p>^ They are crustaceans…I was said that because he mistakenly said “Phylum insecta”</p>
