This is a normal post no they don't
They have nerves which will make them aware of adverse situations, but they don't feel pain. More importantly, they don't have an advanced neural system to evoke a stress response. So in all honesty it wouldn't make that much difference.

This is a normal post I love how you can just say "no they dont", im pretty sure that hitler used a similar statement during WW2....
inreference to the pain a certain minority felt that he was trying to exterminate.

I dont care for insects either but I bet they do feel pain, just because they maybe don't perceive it as we do doesn't prove your argument and neither does a degree in Zoology.

This is a normal post comparing someone who says fles dont feel pain
to hitler, is a bit of a stretch.

This is a normal post Zoology...?


Bit broad to be spouting off on pain responses in insects, isn't it?


I'd want to hear from an entomologist, personally...
