I would think so; just as boneless meat i think insects are meat , because insects are animals infact just as much as a animal as a dog or cat they are just animals in a group called invertabrates [meaning without bones] . |

Yeah, though insectivores are often treated separately insectivores are also in the carnivore group , although often treated sepratley. |

I don’t think insects are meat because they have no bones and are not animals

I know you said you are not good at biology, but you can answer such basic economic questions like "are insects animals" from a simple look at Wikipedia. While it is not always reliable, it is very beginner friendly (all of the more reliable websites are not).
If you look up insects there, you'll see that they are in fact animals.

My mistake I did further research and look like your statement and rocks previous statements are correct , they are indeed a animal species , which makes them meat I guess |

Fish is meat too, yet there are piscivores. Insects are meat, but animals specialized in feeding on them are insectivores. There is no contradiction there, both are carnivores in the wider sense, but the terms exist because it’s ecologically relevant that these animals feed on particular types of animals. Some people might choose to use the term more narrowly to refer to animals feeding on terrestrial vertebrates (and use "faunivore" or the like more broadly). That does not mean they don’t know other animals are technically meat as well, no need to get any point across there.

Insects are meat because insect eaters are classified as predatory and carnivorous.
