It has to do with their ability to disappear under ledges. Despite the fact that one is an arthropod (with exoskeleton) and the other one a vertebrate (with endoskeleton), both of these animals play their disappearing trick in a strangely similar way.
The secret has been uncovered. Watch this video and pay particular attention to the hind legs of these tricksters.

This just demonstrates how important those tiny parts are that entomologists and entomology students examine when they study insects. Removing a seemingly insignificant part made all the difference.
