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.

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.

If you're going to trust your own opinion over scientific fact, then good luck to you.

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

Zoology...?
Bit broad to be spouting off on pain responses in insects, isn't it?
I'd want to hear from an entomologist, personally...
