@Just Some Cookie Without a Life I'm just being nitpicky, but quotations aren't used for pure emphasis. When quotations are used to emphasize words, it's usually in a sarcastic way, or in a way that shows unfamiliarity with the quotated word. In this instance, asterisks, italics, or all caps would give more of a pure emphasis on the word.

[@sorberg3596]

Their long legs give them a high center of gravity, meaning they carry most of their weight around their backs. When a cockroach is dying of old age, its high center of gravity pulls its back toward the floor, and its rounded back and weakened muscles prevent it from righting itself, particularly on smooth surfaces.

ants behavior will change when they are hungry (start scouting more for food and try to escape their outworld) so just keep an eye on how much time passes since u fed them and to them repating this behavior, it will give u an idea of how much to and when to feed them

They can still move their limbs, even after they've been cut off into pieces is because "their ganglions are distributed along the center of their body, from head to tail." That explain why then can still move their body after being cut in half!

[@swooftperson_08]

Imagine being cut in half as a human and still being able to move your bottom half and upper half. I mean it would probably be impossible to get cut in half really fast because the human body is very thicc. Even if you did I'm not sure how long you would be able to live with your bottom half missing. That would probably be really painful to since your guts and everything inside is spilling out and the human body is more sensitive to pain because of the nerves.

Both I believe. In one of his videos he said some ants go there to die.
