While it is inaccurate to characterize crustaceans as bugs, they are arthropods and share an enormous amount of anatomical and psychological features with insects. Both have open circulatory systems and use hemolymph to hydraulically operate their limbs. That “meat” that you’re talking about is only really visible after cooking, and consists mostly of denatured and congealed hemolymph.
Insects also have muscles in certain locations throughout their bodies. You’ll find the exact same structures in similarly structured insects, just on a smaller scale. Honestly I have no idea what you’re talking about because they both have muscles and both have open circulatory systems, both will solidify into “meat” when cooked. I’m not sure what you’re suggesting meaningfully distinguishes them here other than their taxonomic classifications and their size.
crustaceans and insects are two different things, not real complicated. The crustaceans have actual meat, not a fluid filled exoskeleton.
I dunno… Have you ever opened a crab up before cooking it? It’s pretty much all goo inside an exoskeleton.
I mean I eat them raw and it is some yummy goo, definitely not bug like
Large bugs definitely have some meat on them. Chomp on a large beetle and you will see

Well I.kmow that’s wrong cause look at an uncooked shrimp

It’s not complicated. Quit trying to flex and just look at the obvious.
You’re very resistant to learning.
You’re very insistent on quoting Wikipedia
