Cockroaches breathe through their skin When you spray insecticides on cockroaches, it blocks this opening and they struggle to breathe...in a bid to get air , they flip over before they die |

grayht:lame explanation Do all cockroaches die from insectide? Even when dey die from hunger or malaria its the same thing and why must muscular spasm flip it upside down why don't flies and mosquitoes die upside down? Also when humans drown and float in rivers they also float facing upwards In conclusion cockraoaches and humans are cousins |

They say ...in fact I heard from a reliable source that cockroaches die face down if a natural death but if being killed.... would try to look the killer in the eyes ....and that last look can bring bad luck to that person. So op... after the massacre. .. any bad luck?...like failures in tests?...interview?...lost money?..gf? |

Cockroaches have exo-skeltons and they have a
blood circulation system well coordinated with it,
that is hydraulic by nature. The natural state of
their legs is curled up and a force of exertion
combined with the pushing of blood through their
legs causes them to straighten.
When the cockroach grows weak due to lack of
food or old age, they find it harder to exert to force
their legs "open" As they can't summon the effort
to keep all the legs open, one side may collapse
and cause them to tip over.
Insecticides usually contain chemicals which affect
their nervous system, and causes different
enzymes to build up in the cockroach. These may
cause muscular spasms because of which the it
flips onto its back.
Even when a normal healthy cockroach finds itself
with its back on the ground, it has a lot of trouble
getting back on its feet. They get back up by
wriggling their legs a lot. When they are too weak
to do this they are stuck, and die shortly
afterwards as they become too weak to right
themselves. If a normal cockroach has difficulty
righting itself when turned over, a roach with an
affected nervous system would definitely have
much more trouble in doing so. The struggle to
upright itself finally ends when the poison from the
insecticide kills the cockroach.
All roaches don't die lying on their backs – many
end up as prey of animals. The roaches that had
their fate sealed by the insecticide or starved,
probably end their life upside down. |

eseosa77:Seyi signs in thinking. ...................Simple, as a physicist, i would say the back of the cockroach has a lower center of gravity and a greater stability. When a cockroach dies, the lower end of the cockroach behaves like a table. When a table with dostorted legs is supported on its legs, what happens, the table flips over and stops when it attains stability. So when a cockroach is alive, it is always sensitive to stability, so it always moves its limbs ensuring stability as it does it.When it dies, the cockroach cannot respond to stability any longer, so it behaves just like any other non-living thing. When the center of gravity falls outside its support, there is a moment about its support, hence it flips over. To the lame man, there is a part of the body where the mass of the body can be said to be concentrated, just like when you place a uniform ruler on a support, it keeps turning toward one end until unless the ruler is supported at its center. This occurs because, the mass of the ruler concentrated at its center is just vertically inline with the point of support,as i observed in the previously stated clase, when the center of mass and the support are not inline, they flip over. This same anology can be drawn from the example of a table with wobbled legs, and a death cockroach. So if i am able to hit a cockroach from above such that, all its limbs crushes underneath it at once, it might die without flipping over. But this case is less likely, cockroach no go wait make you hit am, so u might never be able to achieve this action.You can ask any further questions on this. Proud Physicist.....................
