Can moths feel pain?

[gljcrsmith1]

Moths, like other insects, have a nervous system that allows them to respond to harmful stimuli. While they can react to pain, it’s different from how humans experience it. Insects don’t have the same kind of pain perception or emotional experience that mammals do. Instead, their responses are more about survival and avoiding harm. So, while moths can sense and react to injury, it’s not quite the same as the conscious experience of pain that humans have.
