Best Answer

A lobster is an arthropod, a classification of animals that includes insects. You could more accurately say lobsters are bugs rather than insects.

____

I would disagree. A lobster is not a bug. It is a crustacean(Crustacea). True bugs are in the class Insecta, order Hemiptera, suborder Heteroptera. Crustacea and Insecta both belong in the phylum Arthropoda. From that point, the classification differs. "Bug" is used as a catch-all term in every day, non-taxonomic language to refer to crawly things and sometimes infectious organisms (bacteria) or non-living infectious agents (viruses). An entomologist would never refer to a lobster as a bug.
