Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Insects have innate immunity, which is a non-specific defense mechanism that reacts to a wide range of pathogens. They lack adaptive immunity, which is the ability of the immune system to recognize and respond to specific pathogens. Therefore, insects do not have the ability to develop a memory response to previously encountered pathogens.
