so there is an empty beer bottle on my desk and theres a little bit of beer in there. A stink bug fell into it and died. Its been in there for a day, dead. hes got mold on it, and it just started moving its legs out of nowhere.
Please explain.

i moved the bottle and it responded to the movement, moving its legs rapidly.
Easy. The bug was in hangover for a day. Now the bug is sober and she is trying to escape the bottle.
Or maybe brownian mote.

its hard to tell. there is barely a ml of fluid in the bottle. Only his thorax is touching the beer. is it because the stinkbug is saturated with the beer that the "brownian mote" is the cause?

it's alive you fool
bugs can be some real tough mofos
Your first assumption is that the bug died. It's quite possible he just got wasted.
The mold could simply be from the beer feeding whatever mold the bug brought in with it, it doesnt have to be from the bug rotting.
However, it is possible the bug is dead, and the movement is from the currents of the beer delivering whatever nutrients to the "muscles" of the bug, causing them to twitch. Far less likely IMO though.
The mold is moving his leg

Post vid. What would a wasted bug even look like?

I got mold on me and I still move my legs sometimes

impligin hes dead.
impligin mold grows that quickly.
Quite a few corpses including humans may twitch or spasm after death, I can't remember the reason behind it but there is some oddly normal reason behind it.
tldr; its normal to twitch after death in animals.
