Can ladybugs eat meat?

NO! Are you mental?

answ2. I have these last few days observed a Lady Beetle cannibalizing a L-B chrysalis. Took about 1 day, and I have photo.

This is perhaps not 'meat' but certainly includes the proteins etc of the 'soup' in a chrysalis.

There is an old saying "Does one swallow not a cannibal make?". Or something like that.

And, an adult L-B will willingly suck the interior from an aphid. But this is just the sap of a plant.

Why do bugs turn upside down when they die?

Creatures with exoskeletons frequently have a primitive muscle/blood flow circulation system tied into each other and it is hydraulic by nature. The natural state of their legs is curled up and a force of exertion combined with the pushing of blood through their legs causes them to straighten. They have fine motor control of this which allows them to move, in fact it's probably unconscious such as the way we move our limbs, the process is lsot on us we just know we can do it.

Now, when the insect in question hasn't got enough food or water they grow weak, or with something like old age. So they find it harder to exert to force their legs "open" So imagine their standing on all their legs and can't summon the effort to keep the set on one side open. That side will collapse and they will tip. This causes them to roll over onto their backs. You can try this with a healthy insect and they will tilt and get back up but it's a strain and they use their legs a lot. When they are too weak to do this they are stuck, and frequently die shortly afterwards as they become too weak to right themselves.

Does hitting nails in the tree bark hurt the tree?

Well, technically anything you do to injure the tree will hurt it, but over the long haul of the trees life, the fact that one nail is hammered into its bark should not endanger the tree. It has more important things that will hurt it -- like lack of water, sunlight etc. I have cut down many large trees (I worked for Asplundh) and found nails way inside the tree that were hammered in there 50 or 60 years ago and the tree stayed healthy and strong.

When beetles die why do they end up on their back?
