minus-squareKalashlinkfedilink1•edit-21 year ago 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.

I’m talking about phylogeny, not taxonomy.
