I don't think the explanation requires all these scientific jargons earlier mentioned. I've often observed this phenomenon myself and I think there's just a simple reason to it. The cockroaches struggle viciously to stay alive and get away from the area they had been attacked. They continue moving as long as their legs can reach the ground or an object. In the process of this struggle they get progressively weaker and weaker as the insecticides are known to prevent normal respiration. They often flip on their backs earlier on but as long as they got the strength they are able to get right up and continue the race to stay alife. However there comes a time when they flip to their backs and have no more strength to get right up. They could still get back to position if only their feet could hook up to any nearby object otherwise they remain and die in that position. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I think its simple : dia bak is smooth nd so is d floor nd dis makes it difficult for dem to turn wen dey flip in struggle nd thereby die struggling.. Even d ones dt are nt sprayed struggle a lot to turn wen dey find dia bak on d floor bt dey av strength to get bak on dia feet; the strength which d ones struggling for death don't av |

quivah: You are right. He should have been humble enough to do so. Here's another link (question dealt with at number 6) with all things cockroach. http://www.bio.umass.edu/biology/kunkel/cockroach_faq.html#Q6 I found the answer to the question on the "sensing fear" very interesting as I always wondered about it. http://www.bio.umass.edu/biology/kunkel/cockroach_faq.html#Q82 |

The poison in the insecticide affect them on the belly region where their bare body is not covered by the feather. They now turn their belly up with the hope that breeze will blow off the poison off. |
