How about shrimps and lobsters sneaking into the animal club while they are insects? Cockroaches of the sea and shit. Nah mean?

You don’t believe that insects are animals? Did you think they were plants?

Shrimps and lobsters shells are made of chitin. Mushrooms are also made of chitin. Coincidence?
