> giant sea insects like lobster and crab

Technically, lobster and crab are crustaceans, not insects ;)

The idea both are arthropods is certainly a fact, but the idea they are significantly different is contraindicated by numerous DNA studies at the present.

Crustaceans make up an entire subphylum, while insects are a class within a different subphylum. That would seem to indicate they are more differentiated than mammals and fish.

Nope. "Our results strongly support Pancrustacea" which is in line with the taxonomic hierarchy I was making reference to.
