Why do bugs flip over on their backs when they die?
In: Biology
I saw an earwig die once and it freaked me out! What happened was I saw it crawl out from a plank of wood and it seemed totally fine then suddenly it started writhing around like it was having a seizure and then it flipped over onto it’s back and spasmed a few more times and then became completely still. I nudged it with a pine needle to see if it was still alive but nope, it was dead. I never thought the death of a bug could be so traumatic.
