Crayfish have peripheral nerve fibres [44] which are responsive to noxious stimuli. [42] Neurons functionally specialized for nociception have been documented in other invertebrates including the leech Hirudo medicinalis, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and the molluscs Aplysia californica and Cepaea nemoralis.
A similar poll conducted in the UK (n=1963) likewise found that "the vast majority of participants agreed that lobsters (83.03 %), octopuses (80.65 %), and crabs (78.09 %) can feel pain", and a majority also thought that "honey bees (73.09 %), shrimp (62.20 %), caterpillars (58.06 %), and flies (54.23 %) could feel pain."

The fast and vicious stomatopods can also live in coral reefs or rock crevices. Depending on the specific mantis shrimp species, these marine critters can be active during the day or live nocturnally.
The arthropods are a phylum of animals with jointed legs; they include the insects, arachnids such as spiders, myriapods, and crustaceans. [1] Insects play many roles in culture including their direct use as food, [2] in medicine, [3] for dyestuffs, [4] and in science, where the common fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster serves as a model organism for work in genetics and developmental biology.
