Pain and insects

[Synapze]

I know there have been many "can my mantis feel pain" questions on the forum, so some of you may find this article interesting.

It was indeed interesting. Didn't know that insects could suffer chronic pains too. I think a mantis feels pain. Like not using a leg when it is injured.

This is really interesting. I think that we are going to keep finding that bugs can feel pain, unlike what was previously thought, and it's going to make me feel even worse for feeder insects.
