Greetings, I've experienced that a few times. The most fascinating was an incident where I watched a cockroach enter a museum through the front door, and I chased it to try to kill it. It walked right into a trap by a window, so I left it. A week later when I did my monthly inspections, I found two dermestid larvae eating that same cockroach, starting from the rear and working their way towards the head. I assume the cockroach was alive for most of that. Dermestid larvae seem to be able to walk on the adhesive from Bell Laboratories traps.
