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.
The line of arthropods that broke off to become Insecta did so in the Devonian Period, roughly 400 million years ago. Centipedes evolved in the fucking Silurian. Comparing these two groups is kinda like comparing raccoons, possums, and platypuses to fish.
They're different enough by size and their habitat that we don't encounter them as primates so logically we don't have any reason to have an aversion instinct. Regular insects can be poisonous or parasites but these don't really look like insects.
Im only down with eating clean bugs that are large enough to have enough substance to be worthwhile or whatever makes it into processed foods and “foods” that I eat (jelly beans arent really food and frequently have shellac and that comes from a specific beetle.)
Non-alarmist answer: tastes can change over time for no real reason. Some mild reasons it could change is pallet fatigue, prep and cook time seeming not worth it and so you crave it less, and changes in overall perception. A person who is slowly becoming vegan for moral or health reasons will naturally stop wanting certain meat products.
Alarmist answer: I don't know man. You've probably got some weird cancer or something.
No they aren't lol, nothing alive now is descended from anything else alive now.
They are somewhat related in the broad scheme of things, but not that close when you dig a bit deeper. They share a common ancestor about 400 million years ago (1, 2), whereas we share a common ancestor with them about 530 million years ago. Considering the more than 2 billion year history of life, you could say we are almost as related to them as they are to each other. It's true that this was during the Cambrian explosion (3) so we are about as distantly removed from them as animals can be, and differentiation of biological features slowed down a bit after that, but still, true insects and the kinds of crustaceans we mostly eat like shrimps and lobsters have been on different branches of the evolutionary tree for most of the history of animals.
Of course we (humans) do eat many land insects too, like crickets and so on.
