Why do bugs like poop?
600501
For some bugs, poop is like preprocessed foods. Easier to get the nutrients than before it was digested by us. Poop is mostly water and bacteria (E Coli from your bowel), and many bugs eat bacteria. To them, it is like a small pond's worth of bacteria distilled down into a concentrated energy bar.

fly's (throw up) on the food they are about to eat. they secrete stomach fluids onto their food so it starts digesting it and then they slurp the digested food and stomach fluids up! yummy.

In my expert opinion, of looking at dead roaches for many..ah ...months, I have noticed that their legs curl up...it is hard to stay standing with yourself in the fetal position.  I know of know other reason, it seems if you even step on them, they at least roll onto their sides.

Termites & bugs inhabit old dead trees.\n\nBirds eat the insects.

It is called coryphagia (or similar, not sure spell check will get it) and it is due to a couple of possible reasons.  One is their incredible ability to smell can actually scent nutrients left in scat of wild animals and other dogs, or even in their own excrement.  Two has to do with the instinctive role as predators.  By ingesting waste from other animals, they may be able to mask or alter the scent of their natural wastes, thus aiding them in hiding their presence in an area.  Three, the dog may have some sort of nutritional imbalance it is looking to rectify in this way.  This may also be indicated by eating of plant leaves, which tends to indicate the dog senses something wrong in its digestive tract.\n\nAnd the final possible reason....dogs can be strange and gross and this is right up their with their obsessive licking of their genitals!  Now come over here and give sweet woogums a big sloppy kiss!

For flies, much of their primary sensory perception is actually carried out by chemosensors and highly sensitive vibrissae on their feet.\n\nWhen they rub their legs together, they are cleaning their feet, making sure that what they are tasting is really the poop they're walking on, and not the poop from three days ago.  It also maintains that sensitivity, which is very important for detecting motion and vibrations.  Hairs covered in poop aren't going to be able to twitch at the slightest shift in the ground.\n\nThey also use the newly cleaned feet to clean their large eyes, which are very important for safe flying and detecting predators.  Much like cats cleaning their ears, they clean their feet and then use the feet to wipe down their eyes.\n\nDespite the disgusting environs most flies live in, they have to maintain a certain level of hygiene in order to function.

there are a lot of creatures living in or on the human body, some are useful (helping the digestion) some are harmful (causing diseases) or other annoying ones: itchy mites, ticks, worms, fungi, lice, parasites, bacterias, fleas and others.

The consistency of your stool (poop) is based on what you've eaten.  Solid poop requires less wiping.  That's the *bottom" line about wiping.  ; )

The bugs you see dead around the house are found on their backs because they have been poisoned. The poison causes their muscles to spasm, and that in turn causes them to flip over. Normally a bug that has flipped over can right itself, but the posion prevents muscle co-ordination and stops them from righting themselves. So when they die they are found on their backs.\n\nIn contrast bugs found dead in the garden are just as often found dead in standing positions or lying on their sides.

Apparently when a kid eats poo it means there is trauma in their life. It is not that uncommon. It's  gross but there is a reason.\nAs they dont do it for fun I will go with #2.\nPeople who eat frogs legs know what they are doing and dont care.

the large ones eat meat..like pieces of raw chicken and beef...the smaller ones just eat bugs the fly by and land on it

There is no one reason why bugs are attracted to light. All of the following are possible in my opinion:\n\n1) Bugs use light to navigate. The moon is a very long way from us by normal standards and the light rays which reach the earth are virtually parallel. By flying at a constant angle to these rays it is possible over a short period of time to fly in a straight line. When an insect is close to a lamp the rays are not parallel, but divergent. The effect of keeping the rays at a constant angle will be to fly round the light source.\n\n2) Many bugs see ultraviolet light and may be attracted to flowers at night which reflect ultraviolet patterns using moonlight. Lights which emit UV rays may therefore attract such insects.\n\n3) Both or one of the above reasons are often given by entomologists to explain the attraction to light. It is also possible, although I have never seen research on this, that bugs are attracted to the heat of the light source.

Scat is playing with poo, basically - and rather unpleasant I would imagine.
