'What’s The Smartest Bug In The World?'

(snip):

But a generalist animal has to do all kinds of intense thought to survive. Everything it sees can be a potential home, threat, or food source, and the animal has to constantly evaluate new stimuli to see if it can make use of it. A bee can feed on dozens of kinds of flowers, and must figure out the best bang for its buck as well as figuring out how to take advantage of it. The same goes for ants, which can feed on a wide variety of plant and animal matter. Ants leave scent trails for other ants to follow, a clear demonstration of social intelligence.

Beetles don’t do that kind of thing; a beetle is a lone creature that doesn’t need to work with others for survival. Hell, a cat doesn’t even have to do that. :hugegrin:
