 I love lobster—always have, always will. But here’s the thing… they share more in common with cockroaches than you might think. In this episode, we crack open the science behind lobsters’ “creepy cousin” reputation, exploring their evolutionary ties to insects, their armor-like exoskeletons, jointed limbs, and panoramic compound eyes. From ancient scavengers on land to the ocean’s armored bottom-dwellers, we’ll see how one incredible blueprint allowed arthropods to conquer nearly every corner of Earth. And yes, we’ll also talk about how lobsters went from prisoner food to five-star delicacy. 

Thank You for listening and Stay curious,
