7 Smartest Insects in the World

Are you one of those people who’d rather eat rocks than look at some dumb, creepy, disgusting, and/or scary insects? Well, sucks to be you then, but maybe you’ll change your mind after reading this article. Even though these little fellas come in all shapes and forms, many of them are quite brainy. And it’s always exciting to communicate with intelligent creatures (looking at you, John from HR).

Here are 7 smartest insects in the world!

1. Bees
It shouldn’t be a surprise that these bad boys are smarter than you think. Did you know scientists actually made them solve simple puzzles for sugar water? Also, bees can dance… freaking dance, Coral!

2. Praying Mantis
Some mantis owners have taught their alien-looking pets to wave on demand, and even give tiny mantis kisses. Aren’t they lovely? I mean, aside from their weird looks.

3. Locust
These mega-grasshoppers are masters of communication. They can send out hundreds of different messages from “pizza’s here” to “I’m about to die” in a fraction of a second.
