When I pass by the containers with the mealworms and beetles(separate of course)I always see some on their backs. They aren't the brightest insects are they?

Haha, I find that too. Once I decided to help one back up, and it just turned on it's back again lol.

I have noticed that the older beetles that are starting to die tend to flip on their backs. I think it has something to do with there back legs stiffening and not being able to fully move.
