"Certainly not in the same sense as human beings. You could say that they have "insect nature", and perhaps even "Buddha Nature". But they are not sentient." This answer seems to contradict itself.....
"Certainly not in the same sense as human beings" on one hand and then "But they are not sentient." on the other......
Maybe the answer should have been - "yes they are sentient, but not in the same sense as human beings." - but this also is not satisfactory because obviously they are not the same as human beings.
Therefore the answer should be an emphatic "yes they are sentient" because the meaning of the word "sentient" is defined as "Experiencing sensation or feeling." which implies they have to have a nervous system, which they have, although rudimentary compared with ours.
