Morning bugs!

Ya, actually.
Why do little bugs ALWAYS die on their backs??

Well, insects are built upside-down..
Theyโve got these heavy domed backs:

And little skinny chicken legs

This gives bugs a high center of mass. The point where gravity acts.

So even a small wobble makes them topple




This is usually fine!
Like these click beetles can just muscle it up and FLIP themselves back over:

But when an insect gets sick:

Injured:

Or poisoned:

Those muscles weaken and curl in.

So gravity takes over and they land on those heavy backs!

But what does it feel like for a HUMAN to die?!
