Insects are common model organisms for studies in animal behaviour, genetics, molecular biology and other fields. They are also the focus of pesticide research, a subspecialty devoted to devising chemicals capable of killing them. These studies would raise animal welfare concerns, if insects were thought capable of suffering (i.e. experiencing pain). Four disparate areas of research touch on the question of whether insects feel pain: (1) philosophy, (2) insect neurobiology and behaviour, (3) artificial intelligence and robotics and (4) evolution. Using the perspectives provided by these fields, I assess what we know about whether insects feel pain. (C) 2016 The Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
