A video of a cockchafer beetle has lately been doing the rounds on social media. In the video, the insect is seen wandering in a bushy area with most of its insides missing.

The surviving cockchafer beetle

An Instagram page recently revealed details about how certain insects can survive even after losing crucial parts of their body. The insect is being called a zombie as it can barely do anything other than walking at a slow and steady speed. The zombie cockroach's wings are also missing, which takes away its ability to fly around for survival and food. The hollow insides of the insect are also partially disturbing to a few people since it looks painful and pointless.

The caption of the post put up by Bio Sapiens throws some light on how many parasites and many insects have the ability to walk around even when dead due to their decentralized nervous systems. They have added that such incidents happen because of various factors.

The page explains that most parasites belonging to different biological categories have the ability to manipulate the movement of hosts, utilizing their limbs to find sustainable environment. The post has also revealed that certain insects show great ability to walk or fly even after severe injuries mainly due to the pre-existing instructions that are still working in the body.
