“Zero is a difficult concept to understand and a mathematical skill that doesn’t come easily – it takes children a few years to learn,” Dyer said.
“We’ve long believed only humans had the intelligence to get the concept, but recent research has shown monkeys and birds have the brains for it as well.
“What we haven’t known – until now – is whether insects can also understand zero.”

smart little fuzzies, i love them so.
Of course they can understand 0, how else would they communicate in beenary
