Insect are i dunno, the very early experiment on AI the likes of which wed found in an Atari game or something, being little more than a ball of nerves reacting reflexively against specific stimuli, without any real logic behind them (i.e: wasps of some species will let themselves be cut apart by ants because they simply don't realize the ants are hostile due to similar hormones (Wasps came from ants if I remember well))
