>>58220256>FrogBugs have a simple centralized nervous system and tend to lack things like spatial learning, self awareness and long term memory (not the same as conditioning and association)
Being a vertebrate and having a spinal cord and complex nervous system generally gives you an edge when it comes to problem solving
>JellyfishA jellyfish is simple and doesn't need to be any better at what it does because it's already dominated its niche and excels to the point that neither age nor grievous injury can kill an individual, they have been unchanged for literal hundreds of millions of years because change isn't necessary when arthropods like copepods are retarded enough to swim into their digestive tracts
Compare that with bugs who share niches with various other species and compete with each other, their only saving grace is being able to lay clusters of eggs to outnumber threats because they're simple and react to environmental pressures rather than adapting to them
