Lobsters are often called "bugs" but they aren't closely related to insects. They are both in a group called arthropods, which includes spiders, insects, shrimp, crabs and lobsters. They all have an exoskeleton, that is, they have no bones, their body is enclosed in a shell like hard skin.
Cockroaches are hard to catch because people have been chasing them for thousands of years. "Survival of the fittest"
By the way, if you are having trouble with cockroaches in your house, get some boric acid powder from the drugstore and sprinkle it around in the kitchen cabinets "away from food" where the roaches run around. The powder sticks to their bodies and they dehydrate.
