How often have I been finding cockroaches lying belly up at home? Well, they've been everywhere lately. I used to be diligent in sweeping them up and throwing them away. Not for the past two weeks though. I've been observing the 3 or 4 cockroaches that I haven't swept up and this past week, I've noticed how strange it all is. First, they are still alive on the first day that I see them. Which is why I was apprehensive in getting rid of them at first. Figured that it was a ploy to get me to bend over. The next few days, they're dead. Cool, but I am still too lazy to do anything about it. After a week, they are reduced to their exoskeleton and wings. Their insides seem to have either dried up or consumed by other critters (ants, mites and the like).
But why do I care? I don't actually, but I do find it strange that this phenomenon seems to have an inversely proportional effect on the number of live cockroaches that I find crawling around the house. The maximum overturned cockroaches that I have counted is four. And then the toll stops and I don't see any live ones anymore. This has changed my whole attitude about dead bugs around the house. They don't bother me as much given the upsides that they bring.

WTF! I'm talking about bugs again! How more bored can I possibly get!
