Why Do Cockroaches Die With Their Belly Facing Up? by eseosa77(m): 8:39pm On May 27, 2016
I ve always wonder each time I spray my house with insecticide,on most occasions I normally discovered that the cockroach would die with their stomach facing up.Have any one notices this or is there any scientific explanation to this.

I beieve most of these insecticides are organophosphate nerve poisons. The nerve poison often inhibits
cholinesterase, an enzyme that breaks down acetyl choline (ACh), a neurotransmitter. With extra ACh in the
nervous system, the cockroach has muscular spasms which often result in the cockroach flipping on its back.
Without muscular coordination the cockroach cannot right itself and eventually dies in its upside down-
position... wink



Why humans no dey stand when dem die?

In summary, insecticides are poisons and it target a cockroaches nervous system. When you spray an insecticide, those neurotoxins cause tremors and muscle spasms, which flip it onto its back, and without muscle coordination, that’s the position it dies . Hope it helps

They are not dead! They are just wetin for the effects to wear off! If you wait long enough, for let's say 3 centuries you will be amazed at how dey will move again! They are just chilling on their backs cos it's much comfy that way.

Guy you've got it all wrong! These invertebrates don't have the complex central nervous system as higher animals! Their is no neurotransmitter or nervous system potentiating the propagation of action potentials in this organism.
Furthermore! AntiAcetylcholinesterases don't selectively pick out certain neural synapses to block! It's always all or nothing. A block will result in any of the following: fasciculations, floppyiness and paralysis not spasms or tremors.

Re: Why Do Cockroaches Die With Their Belly Facing Up? by Nobody: 9:04am On May 28, 2016
Below nairalanders is a clear example of what religion does to the brain and what science does and why Africa would continue to struggle. The first person I quoted is obviously mentally lazy, he does not know neither does he care to know. As far as he is concerned, only God knows - that is how most Africans think.
The second person I quoted is the opposite of the first person I quoted - that is how we Africans need to start thinking. cheesy
