  I hate insects because I know which ones bite and they carry disease. Fish have parasites but that is only a real issue if you don’t handle them properly and intend to eat them.

  With that said, if shrimp constantly entered my house and propagated unrelentingly I would hate them too.

    Very few insects carry disease…

      That’s just what an insect would say!

  Dawg. Insects broke away from the arthropods in the ocean and came on land in the fucking Devonian period. That makes crabs and insects about as related as you and a lobe-finned fish.

    “Bugs” (obviously not specifically Hemiptera) includes a Lot more than just insects. If you go back to the most recent common ancestor of everything commonly called a bug, I’m sure it’s Way back there and its descendents would include not only ocean arthropods but I’d guess probably most things with shells.

    And yes, we are that closely related to fish

      My point is that crabs and grasshoppers are separated by 400 million years of evolution, and are extremely different from one another, just like fish and people are extremely different from one another. I’m trying andfailing to understand your point

  bug, air

  bug, in saltwater which significantly reduces illness and other parasites in the bugs.

    Dawg you can literally see the intestines in shrimp, chock full of shrimp poop. No way that is any cleaner than eating a fully cooked cricket.

      This is why people like lobster and crab legs

    bugs in saltwater have way more parasites than the flying ones. they are practically riddled with it.

  I know some folks down north who eat pan-fried ant butts. The ants in question are typically flying adults of the genus Atta (leafcutters), so specially large.

  That hints to me that one of the main reasons people prefer sea bugs over land bugs is size and texture. Like, you can extract the meat from a crab leg just fine, but you can’t do it with most insects, you’ll be biting through the chitin, you know?

  If crabs could get into our houses as easily as ants we’d hate looking at them too
