Do Insects Feel Pain?
http://insects.about.com/od/inseā¦
Perhaps the clearest evidence that insects do not feel pain is found in behavioral observations. How do insects respond to injury? An insect with a damaged foot doesn't limp. Insects with crushed abdomens continue to feed and mate. Caterpillars still eat and move about their host plant, even with parasites consuming their bodies. Even a locust being devoured by a praying mantid will behave normally, feeding right up until the moment of death."
