Emotions on Insects: I suppose it depends slightly on your definition of these emotions. But I have always said yes, absolutely, any create that DOES ACTIONs feels the emotions that drive them to do those actions. What makes a bee hunt for pollen? the same reason I enjoy sweets. I enjoy sweets, the bee enjoys pollen. These are necessary traits for life. Desire, avoidance... Even the lowly single celled organism 'feels' what is wants, and what it dislikes when it bumps into other things. It feels 'pain' and recoils away, it feel pleasure and consumes when it finds something it 'likes'. A virus, which is arguably not life, 'feels' that it has reached a suitable host, or 'feels' that something is not suitable. These are positive/negative driving forces, that we call emotion. playing, and learning are more complex emotions for sure. Pleasure and Pain are the core necessities though.

The bee sees those thousands of images as 1. They are sort of like pixels and they combine to form one image.
