          Bugs are technically crustaceans

          I’m not sure why that would be.

          Generally bugs is a colloquial name and has no specific meaning in taxonomy.

          Unless you mean “true bugs” from the order Hemiptera, which are definitely insects.

              mh … from my understanding “crustacean” are in the phylum “Crustacea”, which doesn’t include hexapods. You’re thinking of the clade “Pancrustacea”.

                  Ok?

                  Each node on a phylogenetic tree is a taxonomic unit. You can’t really talk about one without the other.
