How long is the average bugs life?
How long is the average bugs life? The majority of insects live less than one year. Many cannot endure cold weather except during their egg stage, so they live their entire life cycle between spring and fall. Some insects, such as the mayfly, live as adults for only a few hours because they do not or cannot eat.
Do insects feel pain?
Scholars have long recognised that the survival value of pain means many animals experience it, supposedly with the exception of insects. But we surveyed more than 300 scientific studies and found evidence that at least some insects feel pain. Other insects, meanwhile, haven't been studied in enough detail yet.
