When Bugs Die Where Do They Go?

Normally, if a bug is knocked onto its back, it can use its legs to rock on its sides until it rights itself. If, however, the bug can't roll back onto its abdomen because it has become too weak or because its nervous system isn't functioning properly, it remains stuck on its back.

What happens to bugs when they die?

As the bug dies, blood flow to its legs ceases, causing them to contract. Again, as the critter's legs fold up beneath its considerably heavier body and the laws of physics take over.

Do bugs feel pain when you squish them?

They don't feel 'pain,' but may feel irritation and probably can sense if they are damaged. Even so, they certainly cannot suffer because they don't have emotions.
