Depends on the definition of bug. Entemological true bugs are a very specific class of insects, but the term bug was used to describe any arthropod for significantly longer than proper taxonomy has been around.
So if you’re a biologist, no, if you’re an anthropologist, yes.
Someone covered in brine shrimp would be more likely to feel covered in bugs than covered in marine crustaceans though.
Are shrimps bugs, though?

Giant isopods have been filmed swarming sharks to impede their movement and gill function when the local detritus is lacking nutrients.
Hell there’s a video of them killing small sharks. Terrifying little bugs.
Yay!
