Shrimp is bugs

34 comments

Huh, til terrestrial shrimp exists. Would've thought it will be categorised as something entirely different.
- I'm more tickled by the fact that "The Cyclops Mountains" are a real place and not just part of a D&D campaign run by a DM who's bad at names 😆
  
  What, like real mountains aren't named after things you find there?!?!
- Grasshoppers are terrestreal shrimps
  
  Your MOM a terrestrial shrimp is, young grasshopper.
  
  Well, not really. One are insects the other crustaceans. Woodlice would probably be a better comparison?

This is cool but also, like, not even pretending to be a meme?
- It’s a placebo meme - you are in the control group 📋
- Shrimp is bug
  
  Shrimp is bugs*

Taking notes from pill bugs I see

Do it taste like shrimp?
Crawdad look kinda like mini lobsters, but they sure don't taste like lobster.
- Of course crawdad doesn't taste like lobster, you silly.
  It taste like dad.
  
  Get away from dad right this instant!
  
  Does a Daddy Long Legs taste like long legs or like daddy?
- What do they taste like?
  
  Crawdad.
  
  Fishier than lobster and tougher.

I have many questions. Do they breathe air or water? How long ago did they diverge? What do they taste like?

no banana for scale?
- Aww look how happy he is. I'm glad scale enjoys his gift. :)

Tasty bugs

Is this related to the Pacific Northwest tree octopus?
