My theory is that cockroaches may have some sort of brain damage when squashed, but only part of their motor area is damaged, so it might send of random signals to it's muscles causing it to twitch.
In my experience both baby and grown up cockroaches play dead, not necessarily when handled, but just when they detect a presence nearby.
Cockroaches have a nervous system that can continue to send signals to their muscles even after they die, causing them to move involuntarily.
Everything will be dead then including chickens. It wouldn't surprise me if cockroaches survived.
I suppose they could, especially if they are dead.
Although unlovely and unloved, cockroaches do have a niche. They are scavengers. They eat dead and decaying matter. They rid the world of ecological trash. And their waste is good for the soil.
Yes, but usually they only eat the shed skin of other roaches.
Luigi Galvani
Dreams often speak in symbols. In this dream, the dead roaches could represent problems that have been "bugging" the dreamer, that are now resolved (dead.) On the other hand, this dream could have been triggered by the sight of actual dead roaches, which often trigger repulsive reactions.
the food of cockroaches is any leftover foods on the floor. Roaches even go after decomposed or dead bugs.
Cockroaches are a common and dangerous pest. They breed prolifically in the unseen regions of our homes and businesses. Cockroaches can survive for prolonged periods without food and water enabling them to be transported with goods from one region to another and from country to country via ships and planes. They are the ultimate free loaders. Cockroaches are nocturnal. Apart from seeing them at night, further evidence of a substantial infestation may include droppings, cast-off skins and dead cockroaches - in dark corners, cupboards, pantries and under furniture and white goods. Cockroaches share our food, water, shelter, and warmth. They will consume any human food or drink, pet food, dead animals and plant matter including animal and paper products. Cockroaches contaminate food and carry diseasessuch as salmonella and diptheria and causing symptoms of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
"The whiskers on your kitten" is the subject of the sentence, and "twitch" is the predication.
The plural form is cockroaches; the plural possessive form is cockroaches'.
