Ah, and I thought I was the only one. They look too damn similar to cockroaches!

There's a lot more similarity than just the looks. They're both arthropods.

And then there are crawfish, which are intermediate in size. Indeed, smaller than some southeastern cockroaches.

They're more closely related to spiders I think. If we had giant spiders they'd probably taste the same with drawn butter.

They're arthropods, just like insects are, but true bugs are insects that belong to the order hemiptera.
