It is believed that insects do not feel pain since they lack a central nervous system, which is how we feel pain. ChaCha on!
Answered by Rebecca V. -
Insects lack a central nervous system, which is probably prerequisite for pain sensation, so they most likely do not feel pain.

About Pain
Pain is an unpleasant experience we've all felt. Its the feeling we get when a toe gets stubbed, when lemon juice squirts in your eyes, or you forget to wash your hands before you go to the bathroom after cutting-up spicy peppers. It's the body's natural reaction to protect a healing part of the body, and to remind us not to do the thing that hurt us anymore. So pay attention to your body, because contrary to what Patrick Swayze said in 'Roadhouse,' pain does hurt.
