Can cockroaches play dead?
Question:I found a dead cockroach in my kitchen floor this morning before I left for work. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to clean it up. I'm home now and I see that the cockroach is gone. Where could it have gone to? I know I wasn't hallucinating. It was there this morning on its back and it wasn't moving so I assumed it was dead. Unless it was playing dead... can they do that?
Answers:
well, roaches can fly-ooh, I remember the first time I saw one fly. I just couldn't believe it, so it makes since to me that a roach which will eat anything--will eat another roach, or maybe a spider did. It could have been staying very, very still. That is what they do, when they know someone sees them----thats it.
Time to have the house sprayed. I am next week. They carry so many diseases.
It may have been carried off by his fellow cockroach. Hey, it's just a thought. It may not have been dead due to being upside down. Call the Terminix man, so he can get rid of these nasty creatures.
It may have been stunned, but I'm betting some other cockroaches got to it.
you got a cat??
