    Is there any relationship between a lobster and a cockroach?

    Question #85820. Asked by icart06. (Sep 13 07 11:40 PM)

    Cockroaches come from the group Hexapoda. Lobsters come from the group Crustacea. Both of these groups belong to the group Myriapoda.

    Another site states, "Beyond classification which should reflect the lobster and cockroach evolutionary relationship, the term 'roaches of the sea' reflects the behavior of lobsters as omnivorous scavengers. Cockroaches will eat almost anything organic and so will lobsters. They clean up the dead and dying plants and animals in their environment."
