Answers:
Where did you get the idea that insects don't get cancer.?

Spontaneous cancer rates in insects are far lower than in larger animals, largely because insect life-spans are so short, but among longer-lived insects, cancer certainly occurs!

The "secret" we might learn from insect cancer rates is that the best way for humans to reduce cancer might be for us to be much simpler, tinier critters, and for us to stop living so long!Health Question & Answer

Perhaps, no one takes time nor money to research cancer in bugs.Health Question & Answer
