This is a smaller or younger American cockroach, i.e. the Water Bug. I stumbled upon it in the middle of a kitchen floor. Why do we find them dead in these various spots? There could be a variety of reasons.
First, roaches die. Sometimes they cannot choose where they will be when death comes upon them, and so they may end up dead in the middle of your floor, kitchen counter, bowl of porridge, etc.
Second, insecticides work, and they may "kick in" at various times. So that roach that is lying dead on your floor on Friday may have actually "lit the fuse" on Wednesday, and he lasted 48 hours after contacting the insecticide.
Third, I have seen instances where dead roaches are moved by other pests or even predators. So it is possible they died under your counter but were moved out to the middle of the floor by some other creature.
Fourth, life and death are great mysteries. Who can know all the reasons why that roach is in the middle of your bathroom rug? Is it trying to teach you something? What lesson can you learn?
Have a good night, from your friends at Ew York City...
