What is the most intelligent insect?

insects are just organic robots, they are not any more intelligent than a computer that does what it's programmed to do.

who programmed the insects then? are you saying it's intelligent design creationism?

yes, I think they have varying intelligence. a cockroach seems to be far more intelligent than an ant or a spider from my experience in killing insects

>>8343253
God did it :^)

You don't know that, there's not reason to assume they're not conscious on some level

>>8343244
They can have some pretty complex "programs" that they follow though. Bees have pretty complex behavior despite the fact they are pretty stupid just like all bugs.

yes, just like a piece of software can be very complex, while not having any real intelligence at all.

I've always had this morbid curiosity to shave a tarantula. I think with pic related it can be done if you tied some floss around its abdomen and feet to restrain it

anyone here have some floss, a hair trimmer, and a tarantula that would be willing to shave their spider for science?

>>8343296
don't

Their hairs get into your skin like fiberglass and don't come out. If they get in your eyes it can do serious damage. They actually use this as a weapon, rubbing their legs to spray a cloud of hair into the air.

there are some diseases that make them go bald

It is not intelligence but more about instincts. Their antenna can sense surroundings

Portia spider can be really smart and use advanced hunting techniques. They just sit there, think for a long time, and then try some shit. They can learn and adapt even for prey none of their ancestors ever seen.
