Really, I'm glad BB finds these cool things to share.  Just don't want people to think that insects and cephalopods are crustaceans, fail their Bio 101 quiz, and dash their dreams of med school.  I managed to find two crustaceans that he created (both crabs).   Along the lines of your Etsy problem, “Hexapoda and Mollusca not freaking Crustacea, Boing Boing, can’t you tell the difference?”
