Content: Aside from lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, and crabs are examples of crustaceans. Crustaceans tend to be larger than arachnids and are a quite common food item, whereas it is far rarer, but not totally unheard of, to eat spiders or scorpions . RELATED: What Do Spiders Taste Like? Is It True that Lobsters Only Turn Red When You Cook Them? Yes, that is true! While you will find illustrations of red lobsters in cartoons or animated movies, in reality, lobsters are brown or olive-green, sometimes with red or orange speckles. The reason for their color change is a pigment called astaxanthin. Astaxanthin is bright red in its free state, but in live lobsters, it is chemically bound to proteins that change its color. The heat from the boiling water breaks the bond and the astaxanthin returns to its free, bright red state.
