the question of “why do bugs just sit there” is very common, and i think it freaks some people out bc they dont understand that behavior. but yeah they generally do that when theyre in a state of torpor, which is an equivalent to sleep. they arent scheming or endlessly watching you, theyre essentially just taking a nap

they also only do that when they feel safe in their environment, bc even though they cant close their eyes, they become unresponsive to external stimuli and therefore vulnerable. keep that in mind if it creeps you out, it’s actually behavior thats very easy to sympathize with as a human.
