Are shrimps bugs, though?

They juicy bugs though, not as juicy as lobsters though

The taxonomy puts us right about the same, splitting after phylum. That being said, a shrimp looks a hell of a lot more like a silverfish than I do like a carp.

Well, depending on my general state of health.

Depends on the definition of bug. Entemological true bugs are a very specific class of insects, but the term bug was used to describe any arthropod for significantly longer than proper taxonomy has been around.

So if you're a biologist, no, if you're an anthropologist, yes.

Someone covered in brine shrimp would be more likely to feel covered in bugs than covered in marine crustaceans though.

ever eaten anything with red in it? (like the icing decorations on the pictured cake)

The Truth About Red Food Dye Made from Bugs

If the idea of eating red food dye made from bugs grosses you out, consider that if it doesn't come from a bug, it may come from something worse.

Very similar to cock roaches. At least taste wise.

Entomological etymology.

Fun fact I like to share with everyone who enjoys shrimp. Up until the 90s they were very difficult to breed in captivity. They just wouldn’t reproduce.

Until someone figured out that it you cut out one of their eyes, they will readily breed. Nobody really knows why, but they snip off one of the eye stalks on the females to get them to breed.

Small crickets maybe? I haven't had them in years but they're delicious with the right seasoning.

Oh, you have no idea.

You can have them by the fistful like this, shell and all.

They seemed to be a common enough ingredient in tacos for the short while I was in Mexico. They are pretty good.

That's fucked.

Yeah the ones I had were in Mexico. So crunchy and good with salt, lime, and chili.

It occurred to me while playing Helldivers that all the bugs we were killing would probably taste like crab after boiling.

The fear of death does tend to make creatures want to reproduce.

It is fucked though.
