A groundbreaking study has emerged, presenting a compelling case that insects may experience pain in a similar manner to vertebrates. This research combines behavioral observations, neuroscientific findings, and molecular evidence to challenge the long-held assumption that insects lack the capacity to feel pain. In the realm of scientific research, ethical considerations … [Read more...] about Insects Feel Pain: Groundbreaking Study Unveils Profound Implications for Their Treatment

That is Ant-Tastic! Incredible Smartphone Photos Show Hardworking Insects ‘Juggling’ Water Droplets And Carrying Flowers
At first glance, it appears that these ants have taken up rhythmic gymnastics. The spheres the thirsty insects are carrying along a piece of thread, however, are drops of water, and the stunning close-up images were taken with a smartphone. Analiza Daran De Guzman captured them in her garden in the Philippines. After her regular camera broke, she used her Samsung Galaxy … [Read more...] about That is Ant-Tastic!

Study: Insects Probably Experience Pain, Which Has Serious Effects On How We Treat Them
A new study combines behavioral, neuroscientific and molecular evidence to support the case that insects experience pain in a manner similar to vertebrates. More data than anybody has been ready to accept points to the fact that insects' central nervous systems absorb pain in ways that are quite similar to how humans do. In the past, scientists used animals in what are … [Read more...] about Study: Insects Probably Experience Pain, Which Has Serious Effects On How We Treat Them
Sasha Vinogradova’s Digital Illustrations Depict Ornamental Insects Covered With Jewels
Sasha Vinogradova, a Los Angeles-based artist, combines her love of opulent design and nature in a collection of jewel-coated specimens. The digitally drawn insects have sculpture-like bodies that resemble brooches or other wearable works of art and are encased in metallic structures with gems and vivid, iridescent body parts. The wings and shells are decorated with symmetrical … [Read more...] about Sasha Vinogradova’s Digital Illustrations Depict Ornamental Insects Covered With Jewels
According to a Study, Insects Likely Experience Pain, Which Has Significant Implications for How We Treat Them
A new study combines behavioral, neuroscientific, and genetic evidence to support the claim that insects, like vertebrates, experience pain. Several lines of evidence show that insects' central nervous systems perceive pain in ways that are significantly more similar to ours than we are willing to recognize. Out of curiosity, scientists used to execute what we now … [Read more...] about According to a Study, Insects Likely Experience Pain, Which Has Significant Implications for How We Treat Them
