Insect learning

Insect learning refers to their ability to modify behavior based on experience. They can associate specific cues with outcomes, such as a bee remembering which flowers yield the most nectar or ants learning paths to food sources. This learning involves changes in their nervous system that enhance survival, enabling insects to adapt to their environment more effectively over time. Although their brains are small, insects demonstrate remarkable flexibility in their behaviors, illustrating that even simple nervous systems can support effective learning processes.
