I think these vastly different responses to major trauma can make us think that they don't feel pain.

But if you've seen an ant whose messed with a beetle that has caustic secretions, they way she flinches away and cleans her antennae is more familiar ... it's how you'd react to something getting in your eye.

Is it all just "reflexes" ... and what do we mean by "just reflexes" anyway?
