As humans, we have a different attitude towards living beings other than ourselves. For example, vegetarianism has become a big trend in recent years because many people are looking for food. kill another creature He decided he didn’t want that. We won’t discuss this here, of course, but there’s one point we’d like to bring up: insects†

around ‘Angry cow’ Insects that seem to move aimlessly and in a robotic manner are perhaps the most dangerous thing to kill for many people.meh’ it is a living thing. When most people see insects pass on without hesitation† After the information we will share with you soon, a beetle You may want to think twice before you kill.

Insects suffer just as much as people.

nociception †Observation of chemical burns, cuts and wounds or stimuli caused by impact by the nervous system) has been found to trigger a variety of physiological and behavioral responses in animals, including: perception of pain.

A research team that began experiments in 2019 found the much-studied fruit fly Drosophila after its leg was amputated. show signs of chronic pain revealed. It was found that once the fruit fly has fully recovered, the contralateral leg of the fruit fly becomes hypersensitive.

Anatomically, it descends from the insect brain to the part of the nerve cords where defensive responses to noxious touch arise. neurons has. For example, after the tomato beetle has been injured. take care of oneself He even exhibits pain-relieving behaviors such as:

The team, which began researching this topic in 2019, has released a new statement. “We argue that insects have central nerve control over nociception, most likely based on behavioral, molecular and anatomical neuroscience evidence. This reinforces our idea that insects also suffer.” say.

Because insects are a large and diverse group, it is also possible that the complexity of their nociception regulation and their potential pain sensations also differ widely between them. So any insect might not be that painfulsome even should not be in pain† But now that we are aware that they suffer The idea of ​​experimenting with it also raises ethical questions.
