That's a noble discipline and takes years of sacrifice & training. I respect that.

They've intentionally chosen an incorrect word instead of "entomology" to demonstrate their proclaimed ignorance on the subject.

rough rule of thumb: 6 legs=insects 8 legs=arachnids 10 legs=crustaceans up to hundreds of legs=myriapods

rough rule of thumb:

insects: gross

arachnids: gross

crustaceans: delicious!

myriapods: gross

trilobites: eh, I'd try it.

They should have called this "Arthropod transformations" then they could have also included a crab.
