If I’m out walking around and I see a small beetle flipped over on its back, should I give him a nudge or let it be? I feel bad for the little dudes. But they got themselves into this situation so maybe they deserve to be a quick bird snack? But if I were stuck I would hope for some help and not being eaten. Plus the more stupid ones I save will keep the stupid genes going and the longer before we have to compete with sentient beetles. But then again, like, nature. I’m torn. Dziękuję
Sometimes insects like cockroaches (not entirely sure about beetles) end up on their backs if they have been exposed to pesticides as the may lose motor control of some limbs. So usually they will not live too much longer. Not just because they are not their backs, but because of other issue. So flip once, but they may end up like that again and may be on deaths door.
