Re: Why do you find dead insects on their backs?

Glenda,

The most basic reason is the same as why don't you die standing, you may 
die standing but you fall over. The same is true for insects. The may die 
standing on a wall, floor, or ceiling, but they won't stay standing. They 
either fall over, or are blown by a gust of air and thus blown off their feet.
Unlike humans which can fall over on their belly or their back, insects pretty 
much only have their back to fall over on since there feet are often
under their belly.


Best Wishes,
