I don't belive that insects can think at all, nor that they can form a concept on "life" or "tree". But what I do belive is that they have some sort of conciousness.

Right before I try to smash the fly, who is sitting quietly on the table - eating his lunch, he reacts - as my hand is getting closer - and then he flies away. This proves that flies have conciousnss/awareness since it was aware of my hand, almost smashing it.
