i disagree. lots of stick insects clearly show consious thought. females of many stick bug species relase a perfume to attract a male mate however if a male takes to long to show up, she will fertilize her self, but as a penelty for doing such 95% of her children will be female, and therefore their overall fitness goes down as males play key roles, just as females. aware of this penelty females stick out as long as possible for a male mate and actuly choose weather they should self fertilize themselvs.
since jellyfish have no brain i may be able to understand that they have no concious thought
