A crab is not an insect. It is classed as a Crustacean. Crabs are more closely related to arachnids (Spiders, scorpions, etc.),than to insects, being that they have four pair of legs, rather than three and only two main body sections (insects have three).

Neither. Crabs are crustaceans.

Mammals have fur or hair, are warm blooded and give birth.
Birds are warm blooded, lay eggs, have feathers and an internal skeleton.
Fish are cold-blooded, most lay eggs, they have scales and gills and live underwater.
Crustaceans are cold blooded, lay eggs and have an external skeleton (shell).
